1. What is Fraction to Decimal Conversion?

Fraction to decimal conversion is the process of converting a fraction (a/b) into its decimal equivalent by dividing the numerator (a) by the denominator (b).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (top number)
• \( b \) — Denominator (bottom number)

Explanation: The division of numerator by denominator gives the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

3. Importance of Fraction Calculation

Details: Converting fractions to decimals is essential for easier comparison of values, performing calculations, and in applications where decimal format is preferred.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator values. Denominator cannot be zero. The calculator will automatically compute the decimal equivalent.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not accept zero as denominator.

Q2: How precise are the results?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for readability.

Q3: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be negative, following standard mathematical rules.

Q4: What about improper fractions?
A: The calculator works with all types of fractions - proper, improper, and mixed numbers (enter as improper fraction).

Q5: How is this different from percentage?
A: To get percentage, multiply the decimal result by 100.
