Key Concepts

Fraction Basics

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as a ratio of two integers, with the numerator (top number) indicating how many parts are taken and the denominator (bottom number) showing the total number of equal parts. To express a fraction in its lowest terms, one must divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

Decimal Representation

Decimals are another way to represent fractions, particularly those with denominators that are powers of ten. The decimal equivalent of a fraction is found by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, the fraction 1/2 converts to 0.5 in decimal form, which is useful for calculations and comparisons.

Percentages

A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, denoted by the symbol '%'. To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100. For instance, 0.5 as a decimal is equivalent to 50% when expressed as a percentage, indicating that it represents half of a whole.
