What Is This Tool?

This online calculator supports detailed operations with fractions using standard fractional arithmetic formulas. It allows users to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions accurately, preserving the integrity of numerators and denominators. The tool is designed to handle fraction simplification and mixed-number conversions efficiently.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerator and denominator for the first fraction (a/b)
  • Enter the numerator and denominator for the second fraction (c/d)
  • Choose the desired operation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division
  • Click the calculate button to get the result
  • View the exact fractional result, including any simplification or mixed-number conversion

Key Features

  • Supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions using standard arithmetic rules
  • Preserves exact fractional values with no floating-point approximation errors
  • Handles fraction simplification and conversion to mixed numbers
  • User-friendly interface for quick and precise calculations
  • Browser-based calculator accessible without software installation

Examples

  • Add 3/4 and 5/6: Find common denominator 12, convert fractions, then add to get 19/12 or 1 7/12
  • Subtract 3/4 from 5/6 using the formula (a/b - c/d) = (ad - bc) / bd
  • Multiply 3/4 by 5/6 to get (3*5) / (4*6) = 15/24
  • Divide 3/4 by 5/6 by multiplying 3/4 by 6/5

Common Use Cases

  • Students solving fraction problems in math homework or exams
  • Teachers preparing accurate fraction examples or demonstrations
  • Engineers needing precise fractional calculations in measurements
