  1. Enter percentage.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.

How it is calculated

Fraction = percentage ÷ 100, then divide top and bottom by their greatest common divisor

Example

Inputs: Percentage = 12.5. Result: Fraction in lowest terms: 1/8; Decimal: 0.125.

12.5
1/8

Limits and caveats

  • Type plain digits without thousands separators, with a dot for decimals.
  • A rounded value like 33.33 gives 3333/10000, not 1/3; put the repeating part in brackets instead.

Questions about this tool

How do I turn 12.5% into a fraction?

Write it as 12.5 over 100, which is 125 over 1000, then divide both by 125 to get 1/8.

How do I enter 33.333% repeating?

Type 33.(3) to get exactly 1/3; the digits in brackets repeat forever.

What does the mixed number show?

For percentages above 100% it splits the result into a whole number and a fraction, so 150% is 1 1/2.
