Fraction Calculator
Simplified
Type each value as a whole number (5), a fraction (3/4), a mixed number (1 1/2), or a decimal (0.75). Math runs on exact integers, so 1/3 + 1/6 comes back as 1/2 with no rounding error.

Type each value as a whole number (5), a fraction (3/4), a mixed number (1 1/2), or a decimal (0.75). Math runs on exact integers, so 1/3 + 1/6 comes back as 1/2 with no rounding error.
It does arithmetic on two fractions and reduces the answer for you. Type a value into each box, choose plus, minus, times, or divide, and read the result in lowest terms. The same answer is shown three ways - as a simple fraction, as a mixed number, and as a decimal - so you can use whichever form fits.
Each box accepts more than just fractions. Use a whole number (5), a fraction (3/4 or -5/8), a mixed number with a space between the whole part and the fraction (1 1/2), or a decimal (0.75). Decimals are turned into exact fractions, so 0.75 becomes 3/4 before the math runs.
Punch 1/3 + 1/6 into a normal calculator and you get 0.49999999 or 0.5 with hidden rounding. This tool keeps numerator and denominator as whole numbers the whole way through, so the answer is exactly 1/2 - no floating-point drift, no rounded last digit.
