Enter two fractions (with optional whole numbers for mixed fractions), choose an operation, and get the simplified result as a fraction, mixed number, decimal and percentage.

How to calculate fractions

  1. Enter the first fraction (and whole number if it is mixed).
  2. Choose +, −, × or ÷.
  3. Enter the second fraction and read the simplified answer.

Rules

  • Add/subtract: use a common denominator: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
  • Multiply: multiply tops and bottoms: 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2.
  • Divide: multiply by the reciprocal: 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 1/2 × 4/1 = 2.
