Fraction calculator

This fraction calculator performs basic and advanced fraction operations, expressions with fractions combined with integers, decimals, and mixed numbers. It also shows detailed step-by-footstep information about the fraction calculation procedure. The calculator helps in finding value from multiple fractions operations. Solve problems with 2, three, or more fractions and numbers in one expression.

The result:

v/12 = 5 / 12 ≅ 0.4166667

Spelled upshot in words is five twelfths.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - use a forward slash to divide the numerator by the denominator, i.eastward., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you apply mixed numbers, leave a space between the whole and fraction parts.

Mixed numerals (mixed numbers or fractions) continue 1 space between the integer and
fraction and utilise a forward slash to input fractions i.due east., 1 two/three . An case of a negative mixed fraction: -five 1/2.
Because slash is both signs for fraction line and division, utilize a colon (:) as the operator of partitioning fractions i.e., 1/2 : ane/3.
Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.

Math Symbols


Symbol Symbol proper name Symbol Meaning Instance
+ plus sign addition 1/2 + one/3

The calculator follows well-known rules for the club of operations. The about mutual mnemonics for remembering this order of operations are:
PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Sectionalisation, Addition, Subtraction.
BEDMAS - Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction
BODMAS - Brackets, Of or Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
GEMDAS - Group Symbols - brackets (){}, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
MDAS - Multiplication and Division have the same precedence over Addition and Subtraction. The MDAS rule is the order of operations part of the PEMDAS rule.
Be careful; always do multiplication and partition earlier addition and subtraction. Some operators (+ and -) and (* and /) accept the same priority and must evaluate from left to correct.
