A fractions calculator is a tool that helps perform calculations involving fractions. It allows you to perform operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with fractions. The calculator takes the input of fractions and provides the output in the form of simplified fractions or mixed numbers.

 

Here's an example to help explain the usage of a fractions calculator:

 

Let's say you have two fractions: 3/4 and 1/2. You want to find their sum.

 

Using a fractions calculator:

 

Input the first fraction: 3/4

Input the operation: +

Input the second fraction: 1/2

Press the calculate button.

The fractions calculator will then perform the addition operation and provide the result:

 

3/4 + 1/2 = 5/4

 

The result can be interpreted as a simplified fraction, which means it cannot be further reduced. In this case, 5/4 is already in its simplest form.

 

Fractions calculators can also handle other operations such as subtraction, multiplication, and division. The process for performing these operations is similar, where you input the fractions and the desired operation, and the calculator provides the result.

 

For instance, if you want to multiply the fractions 2/3 and 3/5 using a fractions calculator, you would input the fractions, the multiplication symbol (*), and the calculator would provide the result:

 

2/3 * 3/5 = 6/15

 

The fractions calculator may also simplify the result further if possible:

 

6/15 simplifies to 2/5
