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:
- Write the percentage as
. - 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.
- 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.
