Fraction Calculator Online Free

 The fraction calculator is a powerful tool designed to simplify various operations involving fractions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It provides step-by-step solutions and can handle both proper and improper fractions, as well as negative values.

Key Features

• Basic Operations: Users can perform fundamental operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. The calculator also shows detailed steps for long division when necessary.
• Simplification: It simplifies fractions to their lowest terms and can convert improper fractions into mixed numbers. For instance, $\frac{7}{3}$ simplifies to $2\frac{1}{3}$.
• Reciprocal Method for Division: To divide fractions, the calculator applies the "keep, change, flip" method. For example:
  $$\frac{1}{2}÷\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$$
• Finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD): When adding or subtracting fractions, the calculator identifies the LCD to align denominators. For example:
  $$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{12}+\frac{8}{12}=\frac{11}{12}$$
  And for subtraction:
  $$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5-2}{6}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$$
• Handling Negative Fractions: The tool accommodates negative fractions seamlessly, providing results in both improper and simplified forms.

Decimal Conversions

The calculator also assists in converting between fractions and decimals. Understanding powers of ten is crucial for these conversions. For instance, converting the decimal $0.75$ results in the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$.
