How It Works

The calculator converts all numbers to decimal format for comparison. Here's how it processes different number types:

Fractions: Converted to decimals by dividing numerator by denominator
Decimals: Used as-is
Percentages: Converted to decimals by dividing by 100

Conversion formulas:

Fraction (a/b) → Decimal: a ÷ b

Percentage (x%) → Decimal: x ÷ 100

The calculator then sorts all numbers based on their decimal equivalents while preserving the original format in the output.
