Fractions/Decimals/Fractions 1.8

Are you looking for a tool to convert fractions into decimals or vice versa? This application serves as a useful resource for performing these calculations, especially when one might struggle to recall the method. It not only provides instant results but also offers detailed explanations of each conversion process, fostering a deeper understanding of the calculations involved.

While some conversions are straightforward, converting a recurring decimal to a fraction can pose challenges. This app guides users through the necessary steps in a clear, methodical manner.

For instance, the app can convert a fraction into its decimal equivalent, accompanied by an explanatory page detailing how the result was derived. Users can effortlessly determine whether the resulting decimal is recurring by entering a fraction into the provided fields; if the result concludes with "…", it indicates that the decimal is recurring.

Conversely, the app also allows users to input a decimal and convert it into its corresponding fraction. It accommodates both recurring and non-recurring decimals, ensuring clarity by specifying the number of recurring digits when necessary.

Here are several examples of conversions:

• 0.3 (not recurring) is expressed as 3/10
• 0.3 (with one digit recurring) converts to 1/3 (specify recurring Yes and recurring digits 1)
• 0.311 (not recurring) equals 311/1000
• 0.301 (with one digit recurring) becomes 271/900 (specify recurring Yes and recurring digits 1)
• 0.301 (with two digits recurring) translates to 149/495 (specify recurring Yes and recurring digits 2)
• 0.142857142857 (with six digits recurring) results in 1/7 (specify recurring Yes and recurring digits 6)

In the final example, despite repeating the six digits twice, the application efficiently discards any excess digits to perform its calculations accurately using just 0.142857.

Furthermore, for those who have purchased the Fractions Calculator functionality, there is now support for negative fractions. Users can specify whole numbers as negative or simply include a minus sign if zero is intended.
