To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100 and add the percent symbol (%). For example, 0.25 becomes 0.25 × 100 = 25%.
The word "percent" means "per hundred." So when we convert a decimal to a percent, we're essentially finding how many parts out of 100 the decimal represents. Multiplying by 100 gives us that value.
Yes! Our converter automatically handles fractions. For example, if you enter "3/4", it will first convert it to 0.75, then multiply by 100 to get 75%.
Decimals greater than 1 convert to percentages greater than 100%. For example, 1.25 becomes 125%, which represents 125 out of 100 or 1.25 times the whole.
For most practical purposes, 1-2 decimal places in percentages are sufficient. Our converter shows the exact calculation but rounds to 2 decimal places for the final percentage.
This conversion is used in finance (interest rates), statistics (data analysis), shopping (discounts), education (grading), and many everyday situations where proportions need to be expressed as percentages.
