Fraction to Decimal Converter

It is a number conversion calculator that is used to convert the values in fractions to decimals. There are two tabs that distinguish the types of fractions you want to calculate. The Simple fraction tab has two text boxes where you need to enter the numerator and denominator. On the mixed fraction tab, you will enter the whole number in the first text box. The numerator and denominator should be filled I the top and bottom text boxes respectively. The fraction to decimal calculator can only perform a single conversion at a time. There are three active controls that accomplish various tasks of the calculator.

After you have filled all the necessary text fields, you can use the ‘Convert' button to initiate the conversion. The results will be displayed on the bottom panel of the calculator below the controls. If you have new fractions that should be converted to decimals, you will use the ‘Reset' button. It is the quickest means of clearing all previous data from the calculator. This calculator will also indicate the method that was used during the conversion.
