1. What is the GPA Calculation?

This calculator converts number grades (typically on a 0-100 scale) to a GPA (Grade Point Average) on a 4.0 scale by averaging the number grades and dividing by 25.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• Number Grades — Individual course grades (0-100 scale)
• 25 — Conversion factor to 4.0 scale

Explanation: The calculator averages all entered grades, then divides by 25 to convert to the 4.0 GPA scale.

3. Importance of GPA Calculation

Details: GPA is crucial for college admissions, scholarships, and academic standing. This conversion helps standardize different grading systems.
