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.
