Fraction to Decimal Converter (Educational)

Why Fractions and Decimals Matter

Fractions and decimals are two different ways of representing parts of a whole. Understanding how to convert fractions into decimals helps learners compare values, interpret measurements, and solve mathematical problems more easily.

Understanding the Concept

A fraction consists of two parts: the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number). To convert a fraction into a decimal, the numerator is divided by the denominator.

Formula Used

Step-by-Step Example

• Fraction = 3 / 4
• Numerator = 3
• Denominator = 4
• Decimal = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

How the Result Is Calculated

The calculator divides the numerator by the denominator. If the division does not end evenly, the result may contain decimal places. This shows the precise decimal representation of the fraction.
