Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Fraction Decimal Converter work?
Fraction-to-decimal conversion divides the numerator by the denominator. Decimal-to-fraction conversion multiplies by a power of 10 to eliminate the decimal point, then simplifies by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of numerator and denominator using the Euclidean algorithm. Mixed numbers are decomposed into whole and fractional parts before processing.
How do I convert a fraction to a decimal?
Enter the numerator and denominator and the tool calculates the decimal equivalent. For example, 3/4 = 0.75. It also shows whether the decimal terminates or repeats.
How do I simplify a fraction?
Enter any fraction and the tool reduces it to lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. For example, 6/8 simplifies to 3/4.
Does it handle mixed numbers?
Yes. You can enter mixed numbers like 2 1/3 and convert them to improper fractions (7/3) or decimals (2.333...), and vice versa.
