Percent To Fraction Converter

This online converter changes a percent into a fraction. If the percent is over 100%, it turns into a mixed number fraction. Just enter the percentage you want to convert. You can also use decimals like 3.5% or 0.625%.

To change a percent to a fraction, first turn it into a decimal. Then, follow the same steps as converting a decimal to a fraction.

How to Convert a Percent to Fraction?

Divide the percentage by 100 to get a decimal number.
Use that number as the numerator (top) of a fraction. Put a 1 in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction.
Convert the decimal to a whole number: Count how many places are to the right of the decimal. If you have x decimal places then multiply numerator and denominator by 10x.
Reduce the fraction: Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCF.
Simplify the remaining fraction to a mixed number fraction if possible.

Example: Convert 35.5% to a fraction

1. Divide by 100

$\frac{35.5}{100} = 0.355$

2. Rewrite the decimal number number as a fraction (over 1)

$\frac{0.355}{1}$

3. Multiply numerator and denominator by by 10³ = 1000 to remove 3 decimal places

$\frac{0.355}{1} \times \frac{1000}{1000} = \frac{355}{1000}$

4. Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 355 and 1000 and reduce the fraction, dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 5

$\frac{355 \div 5}{1000 \div 5} = \frac{71}{200}$

Therefore,

35.5 % = \frac{71}{200}
