<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. A fraction is one such type. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Percentages are another way to express fractions, often representing a part of 100. For example, 50% is equivalent to 1/2. In this content, we are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.</p>
