FAQ
How do I convert a repeating decimal to a fraction?+

Enter the repeating decimal using the notation 0.(3) or 0.3r for 0.333…. The calculator uses an algebraic method: if x = 0.333…, then 10x − x = 3, so x = 3/9 = 1/3. It handles multi-digit repeating blocks like 0.(142857) = 1/7 automatically.

How does decimal-to-fraction simplification work?+

The calculator multiplies the decimal by a power of 10 to clear the decimal point (e.g. 0.75 × 100 = 75/100), then divides both numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD = 25) to get the simplified result 3/4.

What is a mixed number and when is it shown?+

A mixed number combines a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 1 3/4 instead of 7/4. The calculator displays the mixed number form whenever the resulting fraction is improper (numerator greater than denominator).

Can this tool handle negative decimals?+

Yes. Simply type a minus sign before the decimal, for example -1.5, and the calculator will return -3/2 (or the mixed form -1 1/2). The sign is preserved through all steps of the simplification.
