Fraction Calculator – Easy Arithmetic with Fractions

Fractions are everywhere — from splitting a pizza into equal slices to measuring ingredients in a recipe. But doing the math by hand can be confusing, especially when the denominators are different. A Fraction Calculator takes away the headache by handling addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions instantly. You simply enter the fractions, choose the operation, and the calculator gives you a clean, simplified result.

Why Use a Fraction Calculator?

Working with fractions isn’t always straightforward. Adding 1/4 + 1/6, for example, means finding a common denominator, adjusting both fractions, then simplifying. A calculator:

• Saves time by doing the common denominator work automatically.
  
• Ensures accuracy, especially with tricky problems.
  
• Shows simplified answers so you don’t get lost in big numbers.
  
• Helps students learn the right method while checking homework.
  
• Useful in daily life, cooking, carpentry, finance, or anywhere fractions pop up.
  

What You Enter

The calculator is simple to use:

• First Fraction → Enter a numerator and denominator (like 3/5).
  
• Operation → Choose addition (+), subtraction (−), multiplication (×), or division (÷).
  
• Second Fraction → Enter the second fraction (like 2/7).
  

Hit Calculate and get the result instantly.

How the Calculator Works (Step by Step)

Let’s walk through an example:

👉 Problem: 1/4 + 2/3

1. Input values: Enter 1/4 as the first fraction, 2/3 as the second, and choose +.
   
2. Find the common denominator: The calculator finds 12.
   
3. Convert fractions:
   
   • 1/4 → 3/12
     
   • 2/3 → 8/12
     
4. Add numerators: 3 + 8 = 11.
   
5. Simplify: 11/12 (already simplest).
   
6. Result shown: 11/12
   

The same process happens for subtraction, multiplication, or division — only the formula changes.
