Percent to Fraction Calculator

Overview

Ever stared at a percentage and wondered what fraction it hides? Our percent to fraction calculator is here to set your mind at ease. It cuts through confusion fast.

How It Works

Input your number, and our tool does the math. It divides the number by 100, finds the greatest common divisor, and simplifies the result into a clean fraction. Computations roll out like clockwork. It’s as simple as pie!

Step-by-Step Guide

First, type your percent into the input field. Then hit the convert button. Next, watch your percentage transform into a fraction. The result appears clearly below. It’s a no-fuss process that anyone can enjoy.

The Code Behind the Magic

The code is straightforward. A small script grabs your number, checks it, and then performs the conversion. When you enter a percent, the calculator divides by 100 to get a decimal. It then uses a well-known algorithm to simplify the fraction. The final output neatly shows your original percent along with its simplified fraction form.

<main>
  <h1>Percent to Fraction Calculator</h1>
  <div>
    <input type="number" id="percentInput" placeholder="Enter percent">
    <button onclick="convertToFraction()">Convert</button>
  </div>
  <div id="result"></div>
</main>
<script>
  function convertToFraction() {
    const percentInput = document.getElementById('percentInput');
    const resultDiv = document.getElementById('result');
    const percent = parseFloat(percentInput.value);
    if (isNaN(percent)) {
      resultDiv.textContent = 'Please enter a valid number';
      return;
    }
    let decimal = percent / 100;
    function gcd(a, b) {
      return b === 0 ? a : gcd(b, a % b);
    }
    const precision = 1000000;
    const numerator = decimal * precision;
    const denominator = precision;
    const divisor = gcd(Math.round(numerator), denominator);
    const simplifiedNumerator = Math.round(numerator) / divisor;
    const simplifiedDenominator = denominator / divisor;
    resultDiv.textContent = `${percent}% = ${simplifiedNumerator}/${simplifiedDenominator}`;
  }
</script>
