## Quick Answer

Convert decimal numbers into simplified fractions. Enter any terminating or repeating decimal to find its exact fractional and mixed number equivalent.

## Definition

A decimal to fraction calculator is an arithmetic utility that converts terminating or repeating decimal numbers into simplified proper fractions, improper fractions, or mixed numbers. The calculator identifies the decimal's place value, sets the digits as the numerator, and places the corresponding power of ten as the denominator. It then reduces the fraction to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. Students, engineers, and woodworkers use this tool to translate decimal measurements into usable fractional units.

## How to Use

1. **Enter the decimal** — Type the decimal number you want to convert into the input field.
2. **Specify repeat digits** — If the decimal has repeating digits, enter them in the designated box.
3. **Read the fraction** — View the converted fraction, mixed number, and the step-by-step simplification process.
