Practical guidance
Terminating vs repeating decimals
Fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 1/8 produce terminating decimals because their denominators only contain factors of 2 and 5. Fractions like 1/3, 1/7, 1/9 produce repeating decimals. The calculator shows a rounded approximation for repeating decimals.
Converting percentages via fractions
To find what 3/8 is as a percentage: convert to decimal (0.375), then multiply by 100 (37.5%). Use the fraction-to-decimal converter as the first step in percentage calculations from fractions.
