Understanding Fraction to Decimal Conversion
Converting fractions to decimals is a fundamental mathematical skill that involves dividing the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). This process gives us a decimal representation of the fraction.
Our calculator not only performs the conversion but also provides additional insights such as the percentage equivalent, simplified fraction form, and identifies whether the decimal is terminating or repeating.
This tool is particularly useful for students learning fractions, professionals working with measurements, and anyone who needs to convert between different number representations.
