Calculate Fraction to Decimal

Numerator (a)

Denominator (b)

A fraction to decimal calculator helps you convert fractions into their equivalent decimal values. A fraction represents a part of a whole (like 1/2, 3/4), while a decimal is another way of expressing the same value. This calculator simplifies the process of converting fractions into decimals, making it easier for students, teachers

Fraction to Decimal: Definition

A fraction is a number written in the from a/b, where a is the numerator (the top number) and b is the denominator (the bottom number). A decimal is a number expressed in these base-10 systems, using a decimal point to separate the whole number from its fractional part For example, 0.75 is a decimal.

Fraction to Decimal Formula

The formula for converting a fraction to a decimal is very simple;

Decimal = Numerator/Denominator

This means you simply divide the numerator by the denominator to get the final decimal value. To calculate a fraction to a decimal follow these simple steps;

Step 1:

To convert the fraction into decimal you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Which means divide the top number by the bottom number.

Step 2:

If the numerator is smaller than the denominator, the result will be a decimal less than 1. For example; dividing 1 by 2 gives 0.5. If the division doesn’t result in an exact value you may get a repeating decimal. For example, 1/3 =0.3333…,

Step 3:

In some cases, the decimal may have many digits after the decimal point especially if it's a repeating decimal. Depending on your need you can round the decimal to a specific number of decimal places. For example: 2/7 =0.285714 can be rounded to 0.29.
