Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add fractions with different denominators?

Find a common denominator (LCM), convert each fraction, then add numerators. 1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12. The tool does this automatically.

How do I multiply fractions?

Multiply numerators × numerators and denominators × denominators, then simplify. 2/3 × 4/5 = 8/15.

How do I divide fractions?

Flip the second fraction (take its reciprocal) and multiply. 3/4 ÷ 2/5 = 3/4 × 5/2 = 15/8.

Does the calculator simplify the result?

Yes — results are reduced to lowest terms, and shown both as a fraction and as a decimal so you can use either form.
