How to convert percent to fraction
- Divide the percent by 100 to get decimal number.
- Count the number of digits (d) to the right of the decimal point of the decimal number.
Example: 2.56 has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, so d=2.
- Calculate the factor (f) for making the decimal number an integer:
f = 10d
Example:
f = 102 = 100
- Multiply and divide the decimal number x by the factor f:
x × f / f = y / f
Example:
2.56 × 100 / 100 = 256 / 100
- Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the fraction.
Example:
gcd(256,100) = 4
- Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the gcd value:
Example:
256 / 100 = (256/4) / (100/4) = 64/25
Example
One percent is equal to one hundredth:
1% = 1/100
So in order to convert percent to fraction, divide the percent by 100% and reduce the fraction.
For example 56% is equal to 56/100 with gcd=4 is equal to 14/25:
56% = 56/100 = 14/25
