1. What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. It consists of a numerator displayed above a line, and a denominator displayed below that line.

2. How to Calculate Fractions

The basic fraction calculation is:

Where:

• Numerator — The top number (how many parts you have)
• Denominator — The bottom number (how many parts make a whole)

Example: 3/4 means you have 3 parts out of 4 equal parts.

3. Practical Applications

Details: Fractions are used in cooking (recipes), construction (measurements), finance (interest rates), and many other real-world applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any numbers for numerator and denominator (denominator cannot be zero). The calculator will compute the decimal equivalent of the fraction.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator will not compute a result if denominator is zero.

Q2: How do I simplify fractions?
A: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of numerator and denominator, then divide both by that number.

Q3: What's the difference between proper and improper fractions?
A: Proper fractions have numerator smaller than denominator (e.g., 3/4). Improper fractions have numerator equal to or larger than denominator (e.g., 5/4).

Q4: Can I enter decimal numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal numbers for both numerator and denominator.

Q5: How do I convert a fraction to percentage?
A: Multiply the fraction by 100. For example, 3/4 = 0.75 × 100 = 75%.
