<p>Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fraction is one of its kind. It is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. Fraction represents a whole and a fractional part. Percentages represent a part out of 100. For example, 1/2, the numbers in percentage are expressed with a percent sign (%), for example, 4.2%, we are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.</p>
