Question 1

How do I convert a fraction to a decimal?

Accepted Answer

Divide the numerator by the denominator. For a mixed number like 2 1/3, add the whole number to the result of dividing the fraction part.

Question 2

How do I convert a decimal to a fraction?

Accepted Answer

Write the decimal digits as the numerator over a power of 10 matching the decimal places (e.g. 0.75 = 75/100), then simplify by dividing both by their greatest common divisor to get 3/4.

Question 3

What about repeating decimals?

Accepted Answer

This calculator converts based on the digits you actually enter, up to 9 decimal places. True infinitely repeating decimals (like 0.333...) need a different algebraic method to express as an exact fraction (1/3 in that case).
