  • What is 2/3 as a percentage?

We encourage you to check out our introduction to percentage page for a little recap of what percentage is. You can also learn about fractions in our fractions section of the website. Sometimes, you may want to express a fraction in the form of a percentage, or vice-versa. This page will cover the former case. Luckily for us, this problem only requires a bit of multiplication and division. We recommend that you use a calculator, but solving these problems by hand or in your head is possibly too! Here's how we discovered that 2 / 3 = 66.67% :

  • Step 1: Divide 2 by 3 to get the number as a decimal. 2 / 3 = 0.67
  • Step 2: Multiply 0.67 by 100. 0.67 times 100 = 66.67. That's all there is to it!

Note that you can reverse steps 1 and 2 and still come to the same solution. If you multiply 2 by 100 and then divide the result by 3, you will still come to 66.67!

When are fractions useful?

Fractions are commonly used in everyday life. If you are splitting a bill or trying to score a test, you will often describe the problem using fractions. Sometimes, you may want to express the fraction as a percentage.

Convert 2 / 3 into a percentage or decimal

Percentage Fraction Decimal
66.67% 2 / 3 0.67

Remember: Converting a fraction to a percentage or decimal are all equivalent numbers. They are all used to represent a relationship between numbers. We can choose how we represent numbers by which style matches the appropriate situation.

Find the Denominator

A percentage is a number out of 100, so we need to make our denominator 100!

If the original denominator is 3, we need to solve for how we can make the denominator 100.

Hint: percentages all have a denominator of 100!

To convert this fraction, we would divide 100 by 3, which gives us 33.33.

Find the Numerator

Now, we multiply 33.33 by 2, our original numerator, which is equal to 66.67

Convert your Fraction to a Percent

Remember, a percentage is any number out of 100. If we can balance 2 / 3 with a new denominator of 100, we can find the percentage of that fraction!

Before we get started in the fraction to percentage conversion, let's go over some very quick fraction basics. Remember that a numerator is the number above the fraction line, and the denominator is the number below the fraction line. We'll use this later in the tutorial.

When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

So, since our denominator in 2/3 is 3, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 3 = 33.333333333333

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

2 x 33.333333333333 / 3 x 33.333333333333 = 66.666666666667 / 100

Now we can see that our fraction is 66.666666666667/100, which means that 2/3 as a percentage is 66.6667%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 2/3 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

2/3 = 0.66666666666667

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.66666666666667 x 100 = 66.6667%

And there you have it! Two different ways to convert 2/3 to a percentage. Both are pretty straightforward and easy to do, but I personally prefer the convert to decimal method as it takes less steps.

I've seen a lot of students get confused whenever a question comes up about converting a fraction to a percentage, but if you follow the steps laid out here it should be simple. That said, you may still need a calculator for more complicated fractions (and you can always use our calculator in the form below).

If you want to practice, grab yourself a pen, a pad, and a calculator and try to convert a few fractions to a percentage yourself.

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to convert a fraction to a percentage. You can now go forth and convert fractions to percentages as much as your little heart desires!
