Q2: How do I simplify the resulting fraction?
A: After conversion, you may simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator.

Q3: Are there percentages that result in whole numbers?
A: Yes, percentages that are multiples of 100 (like 200%, 300%) will result in whole numbers when converted to fractions.

Q4: Can I convert decimal percentages?
A: Yes, the calculator handles decimal percentages (like 12.5%) correctly.

Q5: What's the difference between fraction and percentage?
A: Both represent parts of a whole, but percentages are standardized to a base of 100, while fractions can have any denominator.
