How to Use the Fraction Calculator
Our fraction calculator performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on fractions with step-by-step solutions. It also simplifies fractions and converts between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
Operations Supported
- Add Fractions: Find common denominator, add numerators
- Subtract Fractions: Find common denominator, subtract numerators
- Multiply Fractions: Multiply numerators, multiply denominators
- Divide Fractions: Multiply by reciprocal of second fraction
Simplifying Fractions
Fractions are simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example: 6/8 → divide both by 2 → 3/4
Mixed Numbers
A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction (e.g., 2 1/2). To convert:
- Mixed to Improper: (whole × denominator) + numerator, keep denominator. 2 1/2 = (2×2+1)/2 = 5/2
- Improper to Mixed: Divide numerator by denominator. 5/2 = 2 remainder 1 = 2 1/2
Finding Common Denominators
To add or subtract fractions, they need the same denominator. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of both denominators, then convert each fraction.
