How to convert from percentage to decimal?
The calculation is very simple. Just keep in mind that when we talk about percentage, we have made a division of 100 units in such a way that:
- 1% = 1/100 = 0,01
- 5% = 5/100 = 0,05
- 10% = 10/100 = 0,1
- 35% = 35/100 = 0,35
- 50% = 50/100 = 0,5
- 100% = 100/100 = 1
- 336% = 336/100 = 3,36
- 5,67% = 5,67/100 = 0,0567
In short, to convert a percentage to decimal format you only have to divide by 100 and you will get the result.
As you can see, the process is very simple and hardly entails any difficulty since, as you know, when dividing by 100, what you have to do is to divide by 100. we are moving the decimal point two positions to the left, something they teach us to do at school since elementary school so that we can become fluent in multiplications and divisions of powers of 10.
This method is also valid for change from percentage to fraction. In some cases, it will be irreducible and in others, we can simplify the numerator and denominator several times until there is no longer any common factor between them.
How to convert from percentage to decimal in excel
