This tool converts between fractions, decimals and percentages in all three directions as you type. Enter a numerator and denominator in the Fraction Input, or type a decimal or a percentage, and the other two fields update instantly. Below you get the Simplified Fraction, the Mixed Number and the Reciprocal, and a pie chart and a 10x10 grid visualize the proportion. Enter 18 / 24, for example, and you get 3 / 4, 0.75 and 75%; enter 7 / 4 and the mixed number reads 1 and 3/4, with a reciprocal of 4 / 7.
To simplify, the tool finds the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator with the Euclidean algorithm and divides both by it. The Fraction Simplification Steps panel shows the two steps, for instance that the GCD of 18 and 24 is 6, so 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4, which makes it handy for checking homework. If you type a decimal into the numerator or denominator, such as 1.5 / 2, it is first turned into an equivalent whole-number fraction and then reduced to 3 / 4. Negative fractions work too, with the sign moved to the numerator.
When you start from a decimal or percentage, the tool writes it over 10, 100, 1000 and so on according to the digits you typed, then reduces it: 0.375 becomes 375/1000 and simplifies to 3/8, and 37.5% gives the same result. The decimal field also accepts repeating decimals: put the repetend in parentheses, so 0.(3) gives 1/3 and 0.1(6) gives 1/6, or end the number with "...", as in 0.333... or 0.142857142857..., and the tool finds a block that repeats at least twice and converts it exactly. Without parentheses or "...", 0.3333 is still a terminating decimal equal to 3333/10000. The decimal and percentage fields currently accept only values of zero or more.
When you start from a fraction, the decimal field shows the exact result whenever it can, with the repeating part in parentheses: 1/3 appears as 0.(3) and 1/7 as 0.(142857). Only results longer than 24 characters are rounded to four places, and the Repeating Decimal card below always shows the full long-division notation. Percentages are shown to two places, while the pie chart and grid round to a whole percent and stay full above 100%, so 7/4 shows a complete circle. The charts are meant for an intuitive feel, such as how big three quarters looks; rely on the number fields for exact values.
