Decimal-to-Fraction Converter (DFC)

As opposed to KFC, this is DFC.

We can simply type or paste the number on the input ➡️ hit Enter ➡️ bam!

We can try 3.1416 or 3.14159, an approximation for π (pi) — credit to Master Liu Hui (3rd Chinese century mathematician).

About

DFC converts a decimal into a fraction by using the convergent method, which builds up increasingly accurate fractions through a stepping process. It stops once the denominator reaches 1,000 or less, ensuring the result stays simple and readable. So, for example, 0.333 becomes \( \frac{333}{1000} \) because that's already neat and within the limit — but 0.3333 gets converted to \( \frac{1}{3} \), since \( \frac{1}{3} \) is a better, cleaner fraction that still fits the allowed size. This approach balances accuracy and simplicity. 😃

Derailment

Once upon a time, KFC did mean Kentucky to Fried Chicken.

Uh-huh, with the to.

How long to get from Kentucky to Fried Chicken? 🤔🤷

It's arbitrary, aye? We could get bajillion scenarios. If the Fried Chicken is an actual place in Kentucky, well... Still, what part of Kentucky is the starting point? 🤦

Are you hungry now? 🍗🥤

— Credits to those bravely blissful hens who gave their thighs to fill our thighs in glory.

It's like that song from Michelle Branch, "Are You Hungry Now?", that? You did listen to that, did you not? It sounded so melancholically angry.

Are you hungry now? 😤💢💃 (Crumbling building and such.) Indeed, Michelle didn't dance in the music video, the mellancholy was the combination of the jive of the music and lyrics, plus her stare. And perhaps her hidden fiery fists. "Could you look me in the eye?", indeed. 🙈

We can try to relisten to Michelle's 2000s exquisiteness, and convert the "happy" to "hungry" in our mind.

Michelle Branch - Breathe ⬅️ Instead of "breathe", I sometimes heard "bleed". Blimey! 😲 Neat guitar rhythm and vibe though — I was sudden-hooked by the intro riff. Everything is alright, mate.

Use DFC as Your Reference

DFC can directly convert the number using URL parameter. ?number=YOUR_NUMBER

As such:

https://portraptor.johanpaul.net/2025/09/decimal-to-fraction-converter-dfc.html?number=0.23

Example, in anchor tag:

<a 
    href="https://portraptor.johanpaul.net/2025/09/decimal-to-fraction-converter-dfc.html?number=0.23"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    title="Open new tab">
    Fraction form for 0.23 
</a>

The URL template is like so:

https://portraptor.johanpaul.net/2025/09/decimal-to-fraction-converter-dfc.html?number=YOUR_NUMBER

Template in anchor tag:

<a 
    href="https://portraptor.johanpaul.net/2025/09/decimal-to-fraction-converter-dfc.html?number=YOUR_NUMBER"
    target="_blank"
    rel="noopener"
    title="Open new tab">
    YOUR LINK TEXT
</a>

Who wants to use bloody long URL anyway? Ah, like Michelle seldom uttered in her song, "bleed".

This blue lad is one of the background stunts in that "accusatory-confirmative rhetorical question with pragmatic force behind it" song. Are you hungry now? Uh, I was. But, you're looking at me like being constipated and sitting on posterior-boils with clenched fists. 🤔

Thank you for visiting. 🙂
