Next, we discuss how to change a % to a ÷. We will start with the theory. After that, you can find four comprehensive examples meant to cover all cases.

How to Convert Percent to Fraction

A percentage stands for a value by the hundred. It can be expressed by means of the percent sign %, or using an abbreviation such as, pct, for example.

In order to change a % to fraction carry out these three steps:

  1. Write the percentage as .
  2. If there is a decimal point, eliminate it by multiplying the denominator and the nominator by 10 to the power of the number of decimal digits. Else, proceed with the next step.
  3. If the greatest common divisor (gcd) is greater than 1 bring the fraction to lowest terms by dividing the nominator a and the denominator b by the gcd(a,b).

Let’s have a look at some examples:

  • 3%:

    The fraction cannot be reduced because the gcd(3,100) is 1.

  • 4%:

    The greatest common divisor of 4 and 100, gcd(4,100), equals 4. Therefore, divide both, the nominator as well as the denominator by 4 to change the fraction to simplest form.

    Thus, 4% as a fraction in simplest forms = .

  • 10.5%:

    The fraction has one decimal digit. Thus:

    The gcd(105,1000) = 5. So:

    Therefore, 10.5% as a fraction in simplest form = .

  • 133.125%:

    The fraction has three decimal digits. Thus:

    The gcd(133125,100000) = 625. So:

    Therefore, 133.125% as a fraction in simplest form = .

We hope that these examples have been useful to you.
