A fraction is a number which can be written in the form of “p/q”. Here ‘p’ is the numerator which can be any integer and ‘q’ is
the denominator which can be any integer except 0. This fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator with
the denominator. The online calculation tool used to convert given two numbers into fractions is called as Fraction calculator.
Example 1: Write the decimal form when 12 is divided by 36.
Given 12 is the numerator and 36 is the denominator and can be written as 12/36.
Factoring the numerator and denominator gives.
12 = 2*2*3 and 36 = 2*2*3*3
Now when these numbers are written as fractions there are some common factors.
Cancelling the common factors we get 12/36= 1/ 3
1/3 can be converted to decimal by dividing ‘3’ with ‘1’ which gives quotient as 0.33 (taking only 2 decimal places)
Hence the decimal form when 12 is divided by 36 is 0.33
Example 2: Write the decimal form when 48 is divided by 45.
Given 48 is the numerator and 45 is the denominator and can be written as 48/45.
Factoring the numerator and denominator gives.
48 = 2*2*2*2*3 and 45 = 3*3*5
Now when these numbers are written as fractions there are some common factors.
Therefore cancelling the common factors 48/45 can be written as 16/15
16/15 can be converted to decimal by dividing ‘16’ with ‘15’ which gives quotient as 1.06 (taking only 2 decimal places)
Hence the decimal when 48 is divided by 45 is 1.06
