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?

1. Divide the percentage by 100 to get a decimal number.
2. Use that number as the numerator (top) of a fraction. Put a 1 in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Simplify the remaining fraction to a mixed number fraction if possible.

Example: Convert 35.5% to a fraction

1. Divide by 100

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

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

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