Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). For example, 1/4 = 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25
What is a terminating decimal?
A terminating decimal is a decimal number that ends, like 0.5 or 0.25. It has a finite number of digits after the decimal point.
What is a repeating decimal?
A repeating decimal (or recurring decimal) is a decimal where one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example, 1/3 = 0.333... where 3 repeats forever.
How do I know if a fraction will be terminating or repeating?
A fraction in lowest terms produces a terminating decimal if its denominator has only factors of 2 and/or 5. Otherwise, it will be a repeating decimal.
Can mixed numbers be converted to decimals?
Yes! Enter mixed numbers like "2 1/4" or "2-1/4". The calculator will convert the fractional part and add it to the whole number.
