Fraction Calculator

Enter two (or more) fractions, pick an operation — add, subtract, multiply, or divide — and get the exact result automatically reduced to its simplest form, plus the equivalent decimal. Mixed numbers are supported and converted automatically. Each calculation shows the working steps, not just the final answer, so it doubles as a way to check homework or refresh the process rather than just getting a number. Useful for students, cooking conversions, woodworking measurements, or any time you need precise fraction math without pulling out a notebook.

Perform Accurate Fraction Math With Step-by-Step Solutions

Working with fractions—whether for homework, recipes, or construction measurements—often leads to frustrating calculation errors. Finding common denominators, converting mixed numbers, and simplifying complex results by hand takes time and leaves room for mistakes.

The Fraction Calculator solves fraction equations instantly, providing exact simplified results, decimal equivalents, and clear step-by-step explanations for every operation.

Key Features

  • Complete Arithmetic Support: Easily add, subtract, multiply, and divide two or more fractions in a single equation.
  • Mixed Number Auto-Conversion: Seamlessly mix whole numbers, proper fractions, and mixed numbers (e.g., $2 \frac{3}{4}$) without manual preprocessing.
  • Automatic Reduction: Results automatically reduce to lowest terms, displaying both simplified fraction forms and improper fractions.
  • Instant Decimal Conversion: View real-time decimal equivalents alongside exact fractional answers for quick real-world application.
  • Clear Step-by-Step Working: See the exact solution path—including finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD), converting numerators, and reducing the final value—to easily verify your work or check homework.

Common Use Cases

  • Education & Homework Checking: Verify math assignments, learn step-by-step fraction reduction methods, and double-check manual calculations.
  • Cooking & Recipe Scaling: Easily adjust ingredient ratios, double recipe yields, or scale down fractional cup measurements.
  • Woodworking & Construction: Calculate precise lumber cuts, tape measure fractions, and material clearances without converting back and forth to decimals.
