What’s a Fraction Calculator?
This tool performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on fractions, simplifies results, and provides step-by-step explanations. Ideal for students and educators in India.
How Fractions Are Calculated
Methods used:
Addition/Subtraction:
(a/b) ± (c/d) = (ad ± bc)/(bd), with common denominator
Multiplication:
(a/b) × (c/d) = (a×c)/(b×d)
Division:
(a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a×d)/(b×c)
Simplification:
Divide numerator and denominator by their GCD
Our calculator ensures accurate, simplified results!
