Fraction to Decimal
Convert fractions to decimals, including repeating ones.
Fractions as decimals
Dividing the numerator by the denominator turns a fraction into a decimal: three eighths is exactly 0.375, while one third is 0.333… repeating forever.
This matters when a spec is written in fractions of an inch but your software wants decimals, or when you need to compare two fractions quickly by seeing which decimal is larger.
Repeating decimals
When a fraction does not divide evenly the decimal repeats, and the tool marks where. All math runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded. Everything is computed in your browser and never uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the fraction to decimal work?
A fraction is split into numerator and denominator, simplified with the greatest common divisor, and divided for the decimal. 7/8 equals 0.875.
When should I use this tool?
Use it for recipes, construction measurements, classroom checks, and converting ruler fractions to calculator-friendly decimals.
What is the main limitation?
Repeating decimals are rounded in the display, so keep the fraction when exactness matters.
Is this converter private?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, so your values are not uploaded or stored.
