Enter a decimal number and this tool finds the equivalent fraction in its simplest form. It handles terminating decimals (like 0.75) and repeating decimals (like 0.333...) correctly.
How Simplification Works
After converting to a fraction, the calculator divides both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF) to produce the simplest form. 0.5 becomes 1/2, not 5/10.
Common Conversions
0.5 = 1/2 — half
0.25 = 1/4 — quarter
0.75 = 3/4 — three quarters
0.1 = 1/10 — one tenth
0.333... = 1/3 — one third
