Percent to Fraction Calculator

This calculator converts a percent into a fraction and shows the working clearly.

Step-by-step method

1. Set up the problem: write the percent.
2. Write it as a fraction over 100.
3. If the percent has decimals, multiply by 10/10, 100/100, etc. until the top is a whole number.
4. Simplify at the end.

Example 1: 75%

Step 1 - Set up the percent.

In this problem: We start with 75%.

Step 2 - Write it as a fraction over 100.

In this problem: 75% = 75/100.

Step 3 - Make sure the fraction uses whole numbers.

In this problem: There is no decimal, so it already uses whole numbers.

Step 4 - Simplify at the end.

In this problem: Divide top and bottom by 25.

Final answer: 75% = 3/4

Example 2: 12.5%

Step 1 - Set up the percent.

In this problem: We start with 12.5%.

Step 2 - Write it as a fraction over 100.

In this problem: 12.5% = 12.5/100.

Step 3 - Remove the decimal by multiplying by 10/10, 100/100, etc.

In this problem: Multiply by 10/10 to make the top a whole number.

Step 4 - Simplify at the end.

In this problem: Divide top and bottom by 125.

Final answer: 12.5% = 1/8
