Adding fractions example

1/2 + 1/3 = (1×3+1×2) / (2×3) = 5/6

Subtracting fractions example

1/2 - 1/3 = (1×3 - 1×2) / (2×3) = 1/6

Multiplying fractions example

1/2 × 1/3 = (1×1) / (2×3) = 1/6

Dividing fractions example

1/2 ÷ 1/3 = 1/2 × 3/1 = (1×3) / (2×1) = 3 / 2 = 1 1/2

What is Meant by Fraction?

In maths, a fraction represents a part of the whole number. It consists of a numerator and denominator where numerator represents the number of equal parts and denominator represents the total amount that makes up a whole.

For example, 5/6 is a fraction where 5 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator. Fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided like all other numbers.

By using the algebraic formula for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions, this calculator will add, subtract, multiply or divide fractions and gets you an answer in a reduced fraction form.

Addition:

(a/b) + (c/d) =(ad+bc)/bd

Subtraction:

(a/b) – (c/d) =(ad-bc)/bd

Multiplication:

(a/b) . (c/d) = ac/bd

Division:

(a/b) / (c/d) = ad/bc
