Percent to Fraction converter

How to convert Percent to Fraction:

1. Divide the percent by 100 to get decimal number:
2. Count the number of digits (d) to the right of the decimal point of the decimal number.
3. Ex. 2.56 has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, so d = 2.
4. Calculate the factor (f) for making the decimal number an integer:
5. ƒ = 10^d
6. Ex:
7. ƒ = 10² = 100
8. Multiply and divide the decimal number x by the factor f:
9. x * ƒ / ƒ = y / ƒ
10. x * ƒ / ƒ = y / ƒ
11. Ex:
12. 2.56 * 100 / 100 = 256 / 100
13. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the fraction.
14. Example:
15. GCD(256,100) = 4
16. Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCD value:
17. Ex:
18. 256 / 100 = (256/4) / (100/4) = 64/25

Example:

One percent is equal to one hundredth:

1% = 1/100

In order to convert a percent to a fraction, divide the percent by 100% and reduce the fraction.

For example, 56% is equal to 56/100 with GCD=4 and is equal to 14/25:

56% = 56/100 = 14/25
