Reading the chart

Every row of the wall is one whole. The more pieces a row is cut into, the smaller each piece — which is why 1/12 is smaller than 1/2 even though 12 is bigger than 2. Pieces that end at the same place are equivalent fractions.

For a fraction not listed, use fraction to decimal or look up a value in decimals as fractions.

Questions people ask

How do I print the fraction chart?

Press "Print chart". The site header, footer and explanations are hidden when printing, leaving the fraction wall and the tables. Choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog to keep a copy.

What is a fraction wall?

A fraction wall (or fraction bar chart) stacks one whole bar above bars cut into halves, thirds, quarters and so on, all the same length. Lining them up shows equivalent fractions — 2/4 lines up with 1/2 — and which fractions are bigger.

What is 5/16 as a decimal?

0.3125. Every sixteenth is 0.0625 more than the one before it.

Which fractions have repeating decimals?

Those whose simplest-form denominator has a prime factor other than 2 or 5 — thirds, sixths, sevenths, ninths, elevenths and twelfths in this chart. Their decimals here are rounded to 4 places.
