WHAT THIS DOES
A fraction means numerator ÷ denominator
Example: 3/8 = 3 ÷ 8
The result can be terminating or recurring
This tool shows working + rounded decimal
HOW TO USE
1) Enter numerator + denominator
2) Pick decimal places (DP)
3) Press CALCULATE
4) See decimal + simplest fraction note
TERMINATING / RECURRING
If denominator has only factors 2 and/or 5
→ decimal terminates
Otherwise the decimal recurs
1/8 = 0.125 (terminating)
WORKED EXAMPLES
3/8 = 0.375
1/6 ≈ 0.166666…
7/4 = 1.75
-3/5 = -0.6
