AI Math SolverA fraction calculator adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides, and simplifies fractions. Enter your expression and get an exact, reduced answer with each step explained.
A fraction expresses a part of a whole as numerator over denominator. Proper fractions are less than one, improper fractions are greater than or equal to one, and mixed numbers combine a whole number with a fraction.
The four operations each follow a distinct rule. The calculator picks the right rule, performs it, and reduces the result by dividing top and bottom by their greatest common divisor.
To add or subtract fractions, find a common denominator, rewrite each fraction, then combine the numerators. To multiply, multiply the numerators and denominators. To divide, multiply by the reciprocal.
Divide the numerator by the denominator. If it does not divide evenly, you get a decimal — use the decimal-to-fraction tool to go the other way.
