How to Turn Fractions into Decimals

Turning fractions into decimals is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:

Method 1: Division

1. Understand the fraction : A fraction has two parts — the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number). For example, in 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.
2. Divide the numerator by the denominator : Use long division or a calculator to divide the top number by the bottom number.
   • Example: To convert 3/4 to a decimal, divide 3 by 4.
   • 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
3. Result : The quotient you get is the decimal equivalent of the fraction.
   • So, 3/4 = 0.75

Method 2: Using a Calculator

• Simply enter the numerator, press the division key (÷), then enter the denominator, and press equals (=).
• The display will show the decimal form.

Additional Tips

• Some fractions convert to terminating decimals (like 1/2 = 0.5).
• Others convert to repeating decimals (like 1/3 = 0.3333...).
• You can round repeating decimals to a certain number of decimal places if needed.
