Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator handle a percentage with decimals, like 12.5%? It first converts the decimal percentage to a whole-number ratio over a power of 10 (12.5/100 becomes 125/1000), then reduces that fraction to lowest terms, arriving at 1/8 in this example.
Why do some simple-looking percentages produce fractions with large denominators? Percentages that aren't clean multiples of factors like 4, 5, 8, or 25 often don't reduce neatly, since the fraction's simplicity depends on what factors the percentage shares with 100.
