WHAT THIS TOOL DOES
DECIMAL INPUT TO SIMPLIFIED FRACTION OUTPUT
This calculator converts a typed decimal into a simplified fraction.
It writes the decimal over 10, 100, 1000 or another power of ten.
Then it divides the numerator and denominator by the highest common factor.
Use it for homework, GCSE revision, KS2 arithmetic and quick checks.
HOW TO USE
ENTER • SELECT • CONVERT
Enter a decimal such as 0.375, 1.25, -0.8 or 0.06.
Choose AS TYPED to use the exact digits shown in the box.
Choose a decimal-place option when you want the value rounded first.
Press CONVERT or Enter to see the answer and method.
EXAMPLES
COMMON DECIMALS AS FRACTIONS
0.5 = 5/10 = 1/2
0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4
0.375 = 375/1000 = 3/8
1.25 = 125/100 = 5/4
-0.8 = -8/10 = -4/5
