About the Percent to Fraction Converter

Percentages, decimals and fractions are three ways of writing the same proportion, and moving between them is one of the most common bits of arithmetic there is: 37.5% of a budget, a 3/8 share, a 0.45 probability. The conversions are simple, but a slip in the decimal point makes a tenfold error.

Type the value in whichever form you have — 12.5%, 0.45, 3/8, 1 1/4 or even a repeating 33.(3)% — and the converter recognises the form, then shows it as a fraction in lowest terms, a mixed number, a decimal and a percentage at once. The working is written out step by step, and repeating decimals are shown exactly rather than rounded.
