What is 5 5 as a fraction?

This online calculator converts a percent to a fraction. If the percent value is greater than 100% it is converted into a mixed number fraction. Enter percents to convert them into fractions. The number you enter can also have decimal places as in 3.5% or 0.625%.

To convert a percent to a fraction you first convert the percent to a decimal then use the same procedure as converting a decimal to 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

\( \dfrac{35.5}{100} = 0.355\)

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

\( \dfrac{0.355}{1}\times \dfrac{1000}{1000}= \dfrac{355}{1000} \)

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

\( \dfrac{355 \div 5}{1000 \div 5}= \dfrac{71}{200} \)

Therefore,

\( 35.5\% = \dfrac{71}{200} \)

The level of precision are the number of digits to round to. Select a lower precision point below to break decimal .5 down further in fraction form. The default precision point is 5. If the last trailing digit is "5" you can use the "round half up" and "round half down" options to round that digit up or down when you change the precision point.

For example 0.875 with a precision point of 2 rounded half up = 88/100, rounded half down = 87/100.

50000/100000= 5000/10000= 500/1000= 50/100= 5/10= 1/2

Not all decimals can be converted into a fraction. There are 3 basic types which include:

Terminating decimals have a limited number of digits after the decimal point.

Example: 709.9018 = 709 9018/10000

Recurring decimals have one or more repeating numbers after the decimal point which continue on infinitely.

Example: 8949.3333 = 8949 3333/10000 = 333/1000 = 33/100 = 1/3 (rounded)

Irrational decimals go on forever and never form a repeating pattern. This type of decimal cannot be expressed as a fraction.

Example: 0.385967610.....
