When you turn the fraction 1⁄83 into a percent, you get 1.20%. This value is rounded to two decimal places, so it’s a quick way to see how small the fraction really is.
The number 1.20% means that for every 100 parts, only a little over one part belongs to the fraction. In everyday terms, it’s like finding just a single drop of water in a large glass of soda – noticeable, but still a very small portion.
Knowing this percentage can help when you compare tiny pieces, such as interest rates, grades, or statistical data. It gives a clear picture without having to work with the more awkward “one‑eighty‑thirds” form.
