How the Fraction to Percent Calculator Works

To turn a fraction into a percentage, divide the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal, then multiply by 100. Three-quarters is 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75, and 0.75 × 100 = 75%. Percent literally means “per hundred,” so a percentage is just the fraction rescaled to a denominator of 100.

This calculator does both steps and also shows the decimal form.

percent = (numerator ÷ denominator) × 100
