How to Convert Percent to Fraction?
Converting percent to fraction is very simple!
Step # 01: Turn the Given Percentage Into Decimal Form
- Divide the given percent value by 100 to get a decimal form.
Step # 02: Rewrite Decimal As Fraction
- To do this, replace the decimal point with 1 and add zeroes equal to decimal places.
Step # 03: Reduce the fraction
- Determine GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and divide the numerator and the denominator by it to reduce the fraction to the possible lowest form.
Example:
Suppose you have 76%. To convert it to a fraction, we have:
Step # 01:
76%
Step # 02:
= 0.76
= 76/100
Step # 03:
Here we have to calculate GCF of 76 and 100.
The factors of 76 are: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
The factors of 100 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
Therefore, the GCF of both the numbers is 4. So we have
76/100 = (76/4)/(100/4)
= 19/25
Which is the required lowest fraction.
