Add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions with step-by-step solution shown.
A fraction calculator handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions, and automatically simplifies the result to its lowest terms. It also converts between fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers, which saves the manual work of finding common denominators or reducing an answer by hand.
Fraction math is one of those things that's simple in theory but easy to mess up in practice, especially finding a common denominator or remembering to simplify at the end. This tool exists to handle those steps automatically so the final answer is always in its simplest form.
For addition and subtraction, the calculator finds a common denominator before combining the fractions, then simplifies the result by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor. For multiplication, it multiplies numerators and denominators directly; for division, it flips the second fraction and multiplies — the same rules taught in school, just handled instantly and correctly every time.
Find a common denominator first, convert both fractions to that denominator, then add the numerators — this calculator does that step automatically.
Yes, results are automatically reduced to their simplest form by dividing out the greatest common factor.
Yes, you can enter mixed numbers directly and the calculator will convert them to improper fractions before calculating.
Flip (take the reciprocal of) the second fraction, then multiply it by the first — this calculator applies that rule automatically.
Yes, results can be shown as a decimal equivalent alongside the simplified fraction form.
