🔄 Decimal ↔ Fraction Converter

Converting Between Decimals and Fractions

This tool allows for easy conversion between decimal numbers and their fractional equivalents, simplifying tasks that require different numerical representations.

How to Use:

• Decimal to Fraction: Enter a decimal number (e.g., 1.25) and click "Convert to Fraction". The calculator will display the simplest equivalent fraction (e.g., 5/4).
• Fraction to Decimal: Enter the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) of a fraction (e.g., 3 and 4 for 3/4) and click "Convert to Decimal". The calculator will display the decimal value (e.g., 0.75).
• The calculator handles both positive and negative numbers.
• For repeating decimals, the fraction conversion uses a high precision level but may not always find the exact repeating pattern for all inputs.
• The decimal result from a fraction is displayed up to 10 decimal places.

Why Convert?

• Precision: Fractions can represent exact values that might be repeating or very long decimals (e.g., 1/3 = 0.333...). This is crucial in fields like engineering or cooking.
• Ease of Calculation: Sometimes, calculations are easier to perform with fractions, especially in mathematics.
• Understanding Ratios: Fractions are a natural way to express ratios and proportions.
• Common Usage: Measurements are often expressed in fractions (e.g., 1/2 inch, 3/4 cup).
