Simplify Fractions Calculator

Reduce a fraction to lowest terms, or convert a fraction to a decimal and a percentage, from a single fraction or decimal you enter.

About Simplify Fractions Calculator

A fraction is in lowest terms when its numerator and denominator share no factor other than 1. This tool divides both by their greatest common divisor, found with the Euclidean algorithm. A decimal is first written over a power of ten (0.625 = 625/1000) and then reduced to 5/8. Only terminating decimals with up to nine decimal places convert exactly; repeating decimals such as 0.333 are treated as typed.

Questions about Simplify Fractions Calculator

How do I convert a decimal to a fraction?

Write the digits after the decimal point over 1 followed by that many zeros, then simplify. 0.625 has three decimal places, so it is 625/1000, which reduces to 5/8.

Can it convert a repeating decimal like 0.333... to 1/3?

No. It converts exactly what you type, so 0.333 becomes 333/1000. For a repeating decimal, enter the fraction itself, such as 1/3.
