Convert a percentage into a simplified fraction.

%

12.5%

1 / 8

Repeating decimals (e.g. 33.333333%) are simplified using exactly the digits entered, not detected as a canonical fraction like 1/3.

How it works

Enter the percentage you want as a fraction.

The percentage is divided by 100 and the resulting fraction is reduced to lowest terms.

Terminating decimal percentages (like 12.5%) convert to an exact fraction. A repeating decimal (like 33.333333%) is simplified using exactly the digits entered, not detected as a canonical fraction like 1/3 — enter more digits for a closer result.

Formula

fraction = percentage ÷ 100, simplified to lowest terms

Worked example: 25% = 1/4
