Math
Fraction to Decimal
Convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. Paste a mixed number like 2 1/2
, an improper fraction like -7/3
, a decimal like 0.375
, or a percent like 37.5%
. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Choose the direction of conversion.
Fractions auto-reduce; decimals/percents round to your chosen precision.
Supports mixed numbers (2 1/2
), improper fractions (-7/3
), and integers.

- Percent: 75.0000%
decimal = numerator ÷ denominator; percent = decimal × 100
Fractions are auto-reduced with integer GCD. Decimal → fraction uses a best-rational approximation (continued fractions) bounded by your Max denominator. Switch fraction style between Mixed and Improper.
Example: 0.375 → 3/8 → 37.5%. Mixed style of 7/3 is 2 1/3.
How to Use the Fraction to Decimal Converter
This free, client-side Fraction to Decimal tool converts between fractions, decimals, and percents. It supports mixed numbers, reduction to lowest terms, and a tunable maximum denominator for accurate decimal-to-fraction results. No data is uploaded.

- Enter your value: Examples:
3/4
,2 1/2
,-7/3
,0.125
, or12.5%
. - Set options: Choose Mixed or Improper fraction style, adjust decimal places, and set a Max denominator for fraction outputs.

Formulas
- Decimal from fraction:
n ÷ d
- Percent from decimal:
decimal × 100
- Fraction from decimal: best rational approximation with
denominator ≤ max
, then reduce - Mixed number:
n/d = sign × (whole + rem/den)
Tips
- Enter mixed numbers as
whole numerator/denominator
(e.g.,2 1/2
). - Increase Max denominator for tighter decimal → fraction matches.
- Use decimal places for currency-friendly rounding.
FAQ
Why isn’t my fraction exact from a decimal?
Some decimals are repeating (e.g., 1/3 = 0.333…). Increase the Max denominator to improve the approximation, or set more Decimals for display.
Does it handle negative mixed numbers?
Yes. A value like -2 1/3
is interpreted as -(2 + 1/3)
.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. Everything runs locally in your browser (client-side). Nothing is uploaded or stored.
