How the Decimal to Fraction Calculator Works

1. Inputting Decimal Value: Start by entering the decimal number you wish to convert into the calculator.
2. Conversion Process: The calculator then expresses the decimal as a fraction over 1, multiplies numerator and denominator to eliminate decimal places, and simplifies the fraction to its lowest terms.
3. Displaying Results: The simplified fraction is displayed, showing both the numerator and denominator.

Formula and Calculation

The conversion involves the following steps:

• Expressing the Decimal: Write the decimal number as a fraction with 1 as the denominator (e.g., \(0.25 = \frac{0.25}{1}\)).
• Eliminating Decimal Places: Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same factor to eliminate decimal places (e.g., \(\frac{0.25 \times 100}{1 \times 100} = \frac{25}{100}\)).
• Simplifying the Fraction: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
