Converting a Percent Into a Fraction

It is possible to convert a percent into a fraction and the other way around. Consider the following percent. 48 % This percent can be written as a fraction by following two steps.

Write as a Fraction Whose Denominator Is 100

Since a percent is the ratio of a number to 100, write it as a fraction whose numerator is the number part of the percent and whose denominator is 100. 48 %=48/100

Simplify the Fraction

Next, check whether the fraction can be simplified. First, split the numerator and denominator into prime factors. This process is shown below for 48100. 48 & = 2* 2* 2* 2* 3 100 & = 2* 2* 5* 5 The numbers share two common factors. Their product is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 48 and 100. GCF(48,100)=2* 2=4 Finally, divide both the numerator and denominator by 4.
