Percentage Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the percentage value based on a numerator and denominator using the standard percentage formula.
Purpose: It helps determine what percentage one value (numerator) is of another value (denominator).
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The numerator is divided by the denominator and then multiplied by 100 to convert the ratio to a percentage.
Details: Percentage calculations are fundamental in statistics, finance, science, and everyday life for comparing proportions.
Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator values. The denominator must be greater than zero.
Q1: What if my numerator is larger than denominator?
A: The calculator will show a percentage greater than 100%, which is valid when the part exceeds the whole.
Q2: Can I use negative numbers?
A: The calculator only accepts non-negative numerators and positive denominators.
Q3: What's the maximum percentage possible?
A: There's no theoretical maximum - it depends on how large your numerator is relative to the denominator.
Q4: Why does denominator need to be greater than zero?
A: Division by zero is mathematically undefined and would cause calculation errors.
Q5: How precise are the results?
A: Results are shown with 2 decimal places for most practical applications.
