Fraction to Percent Calculator

Fraction and percent both are used usually for comparing quantities. A fraction is a number that represents a part of the whole whereas percent is usually expressed as a fraction of 100.

The word percentage means ‘Out of hundred’. To understand the concept of percent better, let’s take an example.

Suppose in a class of 40 students, 17 are females. To simplify this data, we can say that 17/40 = 0.425 = 42.5% of the students in the class are female.

How to convert fraction to percent?

1. Simplify the fraction to its lowest form by finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for numerator and denominator and then dividing both numerator and denominator with GCF
2. Divide the numerator by denominator
3. Multiply the resultant decimal number by 100 to get a percent value

For Example, Convert fraction 45/78 into percent

1. Simplify the fraction to its lowest form by dividing both numerator and denominator with GCF 3 = (45/3)/(78/3) = 15/26
2. Divide the numerator by denominator: 15/26 = 0.5769230769
3. Multiply the Result with 100: 0.5769230769*100 = 57.69%
