How to Calculate with Fractions
This calculator performs the four basic operations on fractions and simplifies the result automatically.
Fraction Operation Formulas
Subtraction: a/b − c/d = (a×d − c×b) / (b×d)
Multiplication: a/b × c/d = (a×c) / (b×d)
Division: a/b ÷ c/d = (a×d) / (b×c)
Simplifying Fractions
A fraction is simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). For example, 6/8 simplifies to 3/4 because GCD(6,8) = 2.
Mixed Numbers
When the numerator is greater than the denominator (improper fraction), the result can be expressed as a mixed number. For example, 7/3 = 2⅓.
