Divide the numerator by the denominator.

However, not all fractions terminate, for example 1/7 = 0.1428571428571... with the 6 digits 142857 recurring. With these, an approximation to the fraction can be obtained by rounding the decimal to a number of decimal places - the more places, the more accurate the result.
