Fractions as division

A fraction a/b is really a division problem. Carrying out that division produces the decimal equivalent — exact for fractions whose denominator has only 2s and 5s, repeating otherwise.

The division

Divide the top by the bottom using long division. If a remainder recurs, the quotient repeats and the converter marks the repeating block for you.

Frequently asked questions

1

How do I convert a fraction to a decimal?

Divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 becomes 0.75. The converter performs the division and shows the result.

2

What if the decimal does not end?

Repeat the long division until the remainder is zero (terminating) or a pattern emerges (repeating). The converter detects which case you have.
