Percent to Fraction Converter
How to Convert Percentage to Fraction
Step 1: Write the Percentage as a Fraction
A percentage represents a number out of 100. So, simply write the given percentage over 100.
Example: Convert 75% to a fraction.
→ 75% = 75/100
→ 75% = 75/100
Step 2: Simplify the Fraction
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.
Example:
GCD of 75 and 100 is 25.
→ (75 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 3/4
So, 75% = 3/4.
GCD of 75 and 100 is 25.
→ (75 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 3/4
So, 75% = 3/4.
Step 3: Convert to a Mixed Number (If Needed)
If the fraction is improper (numerator > denominator), convert it into a mixed number.
Example: Convert 125% to a fraction.
→ 125% = 125/100
→ Simplify: (125 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 5/4
→ Mixed Number: **1 1/4**.
→ 125% = 125/100
→ Simplify: (125 ÷ 25) / (100 ÷ 25) = 5/4
→ Mixed Number: **1 1/4**.
