You can use the fraction calculator either for directly evaluating a math expression with fractions and using the final result, or for studying the steps of calculations for math classes.

-----------------------------------------------------

A. How to input a fraction?

The calculator has three number fields. The leftmost one is used to enter the integer part of the fraction or to enter an operator (+, -, *, :), or a parenthesis. On the right side there are two more number fields. The one in the top right is used to enter the fraction's numerator, while the one in the bottom right is used to enter the fraction's denominator.

Thus if you want to enter the mixed fraction 5 1/2, you should press the number 5 on the left number field, then the number 1 on the right top number field and finally the number 2 on the right bottom number field.

B. How to compute an expression with fractions?

Just enter the required expression and then press the equals ("=") button of the calculator.

C. How to simplify a fraction?

Just enter the fraction and press the equals ("=") button of the calculator.

D. How to convert a mixed fraction to a simple fraction?

Just enter the mixed fraction and press the equals ("=") button of the calculator.

D. How to convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction?

You should change the way the calculator shows the result of the computations. Press the gear (ont he top right of the application bar) and select how you want the app to show the result on the screen. If you choose "Mixed Fractions" then each expression you enter will be converted to a mixed fraction. For example if you enter the fraction 11/2 and then press the equals ("=") button, the calculator will show the mixed fraction 5 1/2 on the screen. You can go back to the original setting using the gear button and selecting "Simple Fractions".

E. How to convert a decimal number to a fraction.

Just enter the decimal number and press the equals ("=") button of the calculator.

F. How to convert a fraction to a decimal number.

Just enter the decimal number and press the equals ("=") button of the calculator. On top of the result the application shows the decimal approximation of the resulting fraction.

Fractions are a mathematical representation of parts of a whole. They are written as two numbers separated by a line, with the top number representing the numerator and the bottom number representing the denominator. For example, the fraction 1/2 represents one half of a whole.

Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same value. For example, the fractions 1/2, 2/4, and 3/6 are all equivalent because they all represent one half of a whole.

Simplifying Fractions

Simplifying a fraction means reducing it to its lowest terms. To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, the fraction 6/12 can be simplified to 1/2 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6, which is their GCF.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. If they are not, the fractions must first be converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Once the denominators are the same, the numerators can be added or subtracted. For example, to add the fractions 1/2 and 1/4, first convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator:

```

1/2 = 2/4

1/4 = 1/4

```

Then, add the numerators:

```

2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

```

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. For example, to multiply the fractions 1/2 and 1/3:

```

1/2 x 1/3 = (1 x 1) / (2 x 3) = 1/6

```

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and multiply. For example, to divide the fraction 1/2 by the fraction 1/3:

```

1/2 ÷ 1/3 = 1/2 x 3/1 = 3/2

```
