Converting in Desmos
Desmos is one of the most popular online math tools. Converting decimals to fractions is built directly into its interface with a simple button click.
- Go to Desmos Graphing Calculator or open the Desmos app.
- Click into any empty expression box (e.g., Box 1).
- Type your decimal (for example, 0.375).
- Look at the left side of the box, right next to the decimal value. You will see an icon that looks like a fraction: Convert to Fraction.
- Click that icon. The decimal will instantly be replaced by its simplified fraction form (e.g., 3/8).
Working with Equations
You don't have to just type plain decimals. Desmos allows you to convert the result of an entire equation into a fraction.
1. Enter: 1/2 + 0.25
2. Desmos output shows: = 0.75
3. Click the fraction icon to change 0.75 to 3/4
Repeating Decimals in Desmos
Desmos is very smart, but it requires you to give it enough information to recognize a repeating pattern.
If you want to convert 0.333..., typing just 0.33 won't work perfectly (it will give you 33/100). You need to type out at least 8 to 10 repeating digits (like 0.3333333333) until the fraction icon appears and properly converts it to 1/3.
