Put the remainder on top of the divisor and that is the fraction.
Remember that a number which divides the other number is known as the divisor.
So if we have 4 divided by 2, then 2 is the divisor and 4 is the dividend.

Carry out long division.
The decimal for the fraction 200 over 3 is 66.666666... (repeating). To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator (200) by the denominator (3). The division results in a quotient of 66 with a remainder of 2. Since the remainder is less than the divisor, you add a decimal point and zeros after the decimal to continue the division process, resulting in an infinite repeating decimal of 66.666666...
The answer depends on the form of the fraction. If it is a decimal fraction, you need to nothing to convert it to a decimal! (?). If it is in the form of a rational fraction, you need to use long division to divide the numerator by the denominator. The division will either come to an end or will go into a repeating loop of digits. The quotient from the division is the decimal equivalent. To convert to a percentage, simply move the decimal point two places to the right - inserting os if required.
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator - on a calculator, or using long division.
