Frequently Asked Questions
How do you add fractions with different denominators? ▼
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of both fractions, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator, then add the numerators. For example, 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
How do you multiply fractions? ▼
Simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, 2/3 × 3/5 = (2×3)/(3×5) = 6/15 = 2/5 after simplification.
What does simplifying a fraction mean? ▼
Simplifying (or reducing) a fraction means dividing both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) until no common factor other than 1 remains. 12/16 simplified is 3/4 because both are divisible by 4.
How do you divide fractions? ▼
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Flip the second fraction (swap numerator and denominator) and multiply. For example, 2/3 ÷ 4/5 = 2/3 × 5/4 = 10/12 = 5/6.
Can this calculator handle negative fractions? ▼
Yes! Enter a negative number as the numerator or denominator. The calculator will handle the sign correctly and simplify the result.
