What is the Formula for Converting Fractions to Percentages?
The formula for converting a fraction to a percentage is simple. You divide the numerator (the top number of the fraction) by the denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) and then multiply the result by 100.
The formula looks like this:
Percentage = (Denominator/Numerator)×100
For example, if you want to convert the fraction 1/4 to a percentage, you would:
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 1÷4=0.25
2. Multiply by 100: 0.25×100=25
So, 1/4 is equal to 25%.
This formula works for any fraction, and the calculator simplifies the process by automatically performing the division and multiplication for you.
