You can put this solution on YOUR website!
IF YOU HAVE A NUMBER TO BE CONVERTED TO A DECIMAL LIKE 2 YOU DIVIDE THE NUMBER BY 100 OR 2/100 OR WE GET .02% A SHORT CUT IS TO MOVE THE DECIMALPOINT TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT LIKE 2.56 BECOMES 256% OR .478 BECOMES 4.78% AND 783 BECOMES 78300%.
FRACTION REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL STEP OR DIVIDING THE NUMERATOR BY THE DENOMINATOR 3/4=.75 AND THEN MOVING THE DECIMAL 2 PLACES TO THE RIGHT OR 75%
