How Does the Fraction Calculator Work?

Using the Fraction Calculator is simple. Enter two fractions (you can also use whole numbers or mixed numbers), choose the operation (add, subtract, multiply, divide), and click calculate. The tool finds a common denominator when needed, performs the operation, simplifies the result, and can show the final answer as a reduced fraction, a mixed number, and a decimal.

Why Use It?

• Save Time: No need to do manual fraction arithmetic.
• Learn Faster: Seeing simplified steps helps understand the method.
• Accurate Results: Avoid small mistakes with denominators and simplification.
• Flexible: Works with improper fractions, mixed numbers, and whole numbers

Tips for Best Results

• Enter mixed numbers as whole numerator/denominator (for example 1 1/2) or use separate fields if provided.
• Always input positive integers for denominators (denominator cannot be zero).
• If you need a particular format (mixed number or decimal), use the tool’s conversion options.
• Double-check negative signs and place them in front of the whole fraction when needed (e.g., -3/4).
