Fraction Conversion
A percent to fraction calculator converts any percentage to a fraction by placing the value over one hundred and then reducing to lowest terms. It handles whole-number percentages, decimal percentages, and values greater than one hundred.
Place the percentage value over one hundred to form a fraction, then simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. For decimal percentages, first multiply numerator and denominator by a power of ten to eliminate the decimal point before reducing.
p% = p / 100
Write the percentage p as a fraction over 100, then simplify to lowest terms.
When the percentage contains a decimal, such as 12.5 percent, multiply both the numerator and denominator by ten (or one hundred, etc.) until the numerator is a whole number. Then simplify the resulting fraction as usual.
This approach ensures that no precision is lost and the final fraction is exact rather than rounded.
