Frequently asked questions

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with that denominator, then add the numerators. Example: 1/2 + 1/3 — LCD is 6, so 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.

How do you simplify a fraction?

Divide both numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). Example: 12/18 — GCD is 6, so 12÷6 = 2 and 18÷6 = 3, giving 2/3.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient becomes the whole number and the remainder becomes the new numerator. Example: 7/3 — 7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1 = 2 and 1/3.

Can I use negative fractions?

Yes. Enter a negative numerator (e.g. −3) for a negative fraction. The calculator handles all sign combinations and simplifies correctly.
