About Fractions and Decimals

Fraction: A fraction is a way of showing a part of a whole number. It consists of two numbers: the top part (or numerator) of the fraction, and the bottom part (or denominator). That means the denominator is how many equal parts make up the whole and the numerator is how many parts we have. For example, in the fraction 


 34\frac{3}{4}  It is 3 and 4, which means 3 of 4 parts. 

Decimal: A fraction is likewise another type of portrayal of that piece of a sum. In any case, it utilizes a point (.) to partition the whole number from the fractional part. Often times decimals are easier to work with in calculations and we use them all the time in everyday life. For example, 

 12\frac{1}{2}  As a decimal is 0.5.

How to convert Fraction to Decimal

Here we have explained the simple way to convert fraction to a decimal, and also given an example that will make it easier for you to understand, you will use the steps given below.

We have given below the formula to convert any fraction into decimal. Decimal=NumeratorDenominator

Here we will divide to get the decimal equivalent.

Now write the fraction you want to convert. For example, let's use the fraction

  1. 34.

  2. Divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).

    34

    3÷4

    The result of this division is 0.75.

  3. So, 34 fraction is equivalent to the decimal 0.75.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 Q1. When I say terminating decimal, I mean it stops.

A decimal representation is a terminating one if it terminates after some number of digits. For example, 

 14=0.25\frac{1}{4} = 0.25 is a terminating decimal.

Q2. What is a repeating decimal?

A decimal is repeating if one or more digits repeat infinitely. For example,  

13=0.333...\frac{1}{3} = 0.333...

 The usual way that repeating decimals are written in mathematics involves a line over the repeating digit, like 0.3̅.

Q3. What clues do I have to judge whether a given fraction is going to be repeated or terminating decimal?

If after simplification it has a denominator with only 2 and/or 5 as its prime factors, then the fraction will have a terminating decimal. However, otherwise, it will be equivalent to a repeating decimal.


Q4. Is it possible to convert a mixed number into a decimal?

Yes, you can change mixed numbers into decimals even though fractional parts and whole numbers should be added first. For instance, 

312=3+0.5=3.53\frac{1}{2} = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5

Q5. Can we convert an improper fraction to a decimal?
Sure, both proper fractions and improper fractions can be converted to decimals, the same. The only thing you can do is divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, 

 94=2.25\frac{9}{4} = 2.25.
