Frequently Asked Questions
How do you add fractions with different denominators?
To add fractions with different denominators, you need to find a common denominator first. For example, to add 1/4 + 1/3, convert to 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12. Our calculator handles this automatically.
How do you multiply fractions?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. For example: 1/2 × 3/4 = (1×3)/(2×4) = 3/8. Then simplify if possible.
How do you divide fractions?
To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For example: 1/2 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2 × 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3.
How do you simplify a fraction?
To simplify a fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both by the GCD. For example, to simplify 8/12, the GCD is 4, so 8/12 = 2/3.
