READ THE RESULT

Keep the exact fraction and check its decimal meaning.

Denominators must not be zero. Division by a zero fraction is undefined.

1

Enter both fractions

Denominators cannot be zero.

2

Select the operation

Choose add, subtract, multiply or divide.

3

Simplify

Reduce the final numerator and denominator using their greatest common divisor.

a/b ± c/d, (a×c)/(b×d), or (a×d)/(b×c)

Understanding your fraction calculator result

1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.

a/b ± c/d, (a×c)/(b×d), or (a×d)/(b×c)Check the input units and directionUse the result in context
RELATED TOOLS

Keep working through the decision.

Use connected calculators when the next question depends on another part of the economics.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

A few things worth knowing before you judge the result.

How do I add fractions?

Find a common denominator, add the adjusted numerators and reduce the result.

How do I divide fractions?

Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction, provided the second numerator is not zero.

Can the numerator be negative?

Yes. Negative numerators and denominators are normalized to a single sign in the result.

Important: This calculator is for planning and educational use. Real outcomes can differ because of business conditions, accounting treatment, market behavior, taxes, attribution, timing and assumptions not represented here.
