This calculator converts a percentage into a simplified fraction. It works with both whole percentages and decimal percentages, making it useful for maths, probability, finance, and ratios.
A percentage means “per 100”, so the process starts by writing the value over 100, then simplifying it to its lowest terms.
Formula: p% = p ÷ 100 → simplify
The result shows the simplified fraction equivalent of the percentage.
The calculator converts the percentage into a fraction by dividing by 100. If the value includes decimals, it scales the fraction to remove the decimal and then simplifies using the greatest common divisor (GCD).
Example 1: 25% → 25/100 → 1/4
Example 2: 12.5% → 125/1000 → 1/8
Write the percentage over 100 and simplify.
Convert to a whole number fraction first, then simplify.
Yes, percentages above 100% result in improper fractions.
