How the Conversion Works

The tool follows a mathematical algorithm to accurately convert decimals into fractions:

  • Finding the Fraction: The tool determines the numerator and denominator by breaking down the decimal into a fraction using continued fractions.
  • Simplification: The fraction is simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
  • Mixed Fraction Conversion: If the fraction is improper, it is further converted into a mixed fraction by separating the whole number.

Formula used for conversion:

Fraction = (Decimal × Denominator) / Greatest Common Divisor

Example conversion:

0.75 → 3/4 (since 0.75 × 4 = 3)
