Mathematics Converters

Number format, base, and unit converters for students, developers, and professionals: fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, logarithms, angles, number bases, and Roman numerals.

How These Converters Help

Unlike physical unit conversions, mathematics conversions do not have to worry about measurement standards or precision limits — a rational number is exactly a rational number. But they still have practical pitfalls: rounding rules, recurring decimals, and the difference between exact representation and floating-point approximation.

Fractions and decimals

Any terminating decimal can be written as a fraction with a denominator that is a product of 2s and 5s. Any fraction whose denominator has only prime factors 2 and 5 produces a terminating decimal; all other denominators produce recurring decimals. M-Convert's converter detects recurring patterns and displays them correctly.

Number bases

The converter supports bases 2 through 36, using 0–9 followed by A–Z for digits 10–35. Common uses include binary (2), octal (8), decimal (10), and hexadecimal (16). The converter handles arbitrarily large integers up to JavaScript's safe integer limit (2⁵³ − 1).

Roman numerals

Roman numerals use subtractive notation (IV for 4, IX for 9, XL for 40, etc.). The converter handles the standard range up to 3999 (MMMCMXCIX); larger values historically used overbars and are not universally standardized.
