## Overview

Implements long-division expansion with remainder tracking (a repeated remainder starts the repetend; length ≤ denominator − 1), the terminating test (reduced denominator has only prime factors 2 and 5), and GCD simplification. The playground runs as a sandboxed data-URI iframe (allow-scripts, no network); the per-mille slider drives pie, bar, grid, number line and all three readouts simultaneously. Exercises are deterministic: simplification, repetend spotting, percent-vs-decimal comparison.

## Inputs

- **Input form** (select)
- **Numerator** (number): 1
- **Denominator** (number): 2
- **Decimal value (0–1)** (number): 0.5
- **Percent value (0–100)** (number): 50
- **Show practice exercises** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When teaching or studying how fractions, decimals, and percentages represent identical values across visual models.
- When determining whether a fraction results in a terminating decimal or an infinite repeating decimal with a repetend.
- When generating visual aids and interactive practice problems for elementary and middle school mathematics.

## How it works

- Select your preferred input format—fraction (numerator/denominator), decimal (0–1), or percent (0–100)—and enter the numeric value.
- The engine simplifies fractions using GCD algorithms and performs long-division remainder tracking to detect repetends or confirm prime factors of 2 and 5.
- The tool renders linked visual models simultaneously: a circular pie, a fraction bar, a 100-cell percent grid, and a 0–1 number line.
- Use the live interactive slider to explore continuous changes across all four visualizations and review the built-in practice exercises.

## Use cases

- Classroom demonstration of equivalent numeric representations using multiple visual models.
- Self-paced study for understanding repeating decimal periods and fraction reduction.
- Homework verification for converting fractions into exact decimals and percentages.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does the tool identify repeating decimals?

It tracks remainders during digit-by-digit long division; when a remainder repeats, the sequence of quotient digits is flagged as the exact repetend.

### What conditions make a fraction a terminating decimal?

A fraction terminates in decimal form if its fully reduced denominator contains only the prime factors 2 and 5.

### Which visual models are linked to the input values?

The visualizer displays a pie chart, a fraction bar, a 10×10 percent grid, and a 0–1 number line, all updating in real time.

### Can I interactively change values without retyping numbers?

Yes, an integrated per-mille interactive slider allows continuous value adjustments that synchronize all visual models and readouts.

### What types of practice exercises are provided?

The tool includes deterministic exercises covering fraction simplification, repetend detection, and comparisons between percentages and decimals.
