Our fraction calculator will help you add, subtract, multiply, and divide any two fractions. It is easy enough to figure that two halves make one, but what about trying to calculate the difference between two fractions that don’t have the same denominator. Trying to calculate lowest common denominators and remember how to multiply and divide fractions can be extremely difficult. The fraction calculator takes all the guesswork out of the equation and simplifies everything for you.

Fractions are made up of a numerator and a denominator. The top number is the numerator and tells how many equal parts; the denominator is the lower number and represents how many parts make up a whole or one. Fractions are often used in mathematics because they are more accurate than the decimal equivalent. For instance, using 1/3 for multiplication is much more accurate than using the decimal equivalent.

Fractions can be represented by a decimal or percentage. A decimal fraction would be divided by 10, 100, 1000, etc depending on how far the decimal was carried. The decimal 0.3 could be represented as a fraction as 3/10. A percentage will always have 100 as the denominator.

To use our fraction calculator simply chose what type of calculation you are performing and enter the fraction amounts. There is no need to reduce the fractions to lowest terms for our calculator, and you will not have to find the lowest common denominator. Our calculator does all the math for you.
