Converting a fraction such as 1/50 into a percent is pretty easy. All you have to do is divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply that result with 100 like so: (Numerator/Denominator)*100 When you enter 1/50 into the above formula, you get (1/50)*100 which calculates to:

Note: When Research Maniacs calculated 1/50 as a percent, we rounded the answers to nine digits after the decimal point if necessary.

For example, in order to get a decimal fraction, 3/4 is expanded to 75/100 by multiplying the numerator by 25 and denominator by 25:

3	=	3×25	=	75	× 100% =	75%
4	4×25	100

Other method is to do long division of 3 divided by 4.

1/50 as a percent value (as a percentage)?

A fraction consists of two numbers and the fraction bar:

1/50

The number above the fraction bar is the numerator: 1

The number under the fraction bar is the denominator: 50

To get the fraction's value, divide the numerator by the denominator:

The value = 1 ÷ 50

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

1/50 =

1 ÷ 50 =

0.02 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.

n × 100/100 = n × 1 = n, any number n

0.02 =

0.02 × 100/100 =

(0.02 × 100)/100 =

2/100 =

2%

1) Calculate the value of the fraction.

2) Multiply this number by 100.

3) Add the percent sign %

The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.

What is 1/50 as a percentage?

We encourage you to check out our introduction to percentage page for a little recap of what percentage is. You can also learn about fractions in our fractions section of the website. Sometimes, you may want to express a fraction in the form of a percentage, or vice-versa. This page will cover the former case. Luckily for us, this problem only requires a bit of multiplication and division. We recommend that you use a calculator, but solving these problems by hand or in your head is possibly too! Here's how we discovered that 1 / 50 = 2% :

Step 1: Divide 1 by 50 to get the number as a decimal. 1 / 50 = 0.02
Step 2: Multiply 0.02 by 100. 0.02 times 100 = 2. That's all there is to it!

Note that you can reverse steps 1 and 2 and still come to the same solution. If you multiply 1 by 100 and then divide the result by 50, you will still come to 2!

When are fractions useful?

Fractions are commonly used in everyday life. If you are splitting a bill or trying to score a test, you will often describe the problem using fractions. Sometimes, you may want to express the fraction as a percentage.

Convert 1 / 50 into a percentage or decimal

Percentage	Fraction	Decimal
2%	1 / 50	0.02

Remember: Converting a fraction to a percentage or decimal are all equivalent numbers. They are all used to represent a relationship between numbers. We can choose how we represent numbers by which style matches the appropriate situation.

Find the Denominator

A percentage is a number out of 100, so we need to make our denominator 100!

If the original denominator is 50, we need to solve for how we can make the denominator 100.

Hint: percentages all have a denominator of 100!

To convert this fraction, we would divide 100 by 50, which gives us 2.

Find the Numerator

Now, we multiply 2 by 1, our original numerator, which is equal to 2

Convert your Fraction to a Percent

Remember, a percentage is any number out of 100. If we can balance 1 / 50 with a new denominator of 100, we can find the percentage of that fraction!

It's very common when learning about fractions to want to know how convert a fraction like 1/50 into a percentage. In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to turn any fraction into a percentage really easily. Let's take a look!

Before we get started in the fraction to percentage conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line. We'll use this later in the tutorial.

When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

So, since our denominator in 1/50 is 50, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 50 = 2

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

Now we can see that our fraction is 2/100, which means that 1/50 as a percentage is 2%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 1/50 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

1/50 = 0.02

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.02 x 100 = 2%

And there you have it! Two different ways to convert 1/50 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do, but I personally prefer the convert to decimal method as it takes less steps.

I've seen a lot of students get confused whenever a question comes up about converting a fraction to a percentage, but if you follow the steps laid out here it should be simple. That said, you may still need a calculator for more complicated fractions (and you can always use our calculator in the form below).

If you want to practice, grab yourself a pen, a pad, and a calculator and try to convert a few fractions to a percentage yourself.

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to convert a fraction to a percentage. You can now go forth and convert fractions to percentages as much as your little heart desires!
