1. Understanding Fractions in Google Calculator

Google Calculator accepts fractions in the form of a/b where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator. The calculator automatically converts this to its decimal equivalent for calculations.

2. How To Input Fractions

You can type fractions directly into Google's search bar or calculator interface:

Where:

• a — numerator (any whole number)
• b — denominator (any whole number except zero)
• / — forward slash (division symbol)

Example: To input 3/4, simply type "3/4" in the Google search bar or calculator.

3. Fraction Conversion

Details: Google automatically converts fractions to decimal form for calculations. For example, "1/2" becomes 0.5 in calculations.

4. Practical Examples

Common Fraction Inputs:

• 1/2 = 0.5
• 2/3 ≈ 0.6667
• 3/4 = 0.75
• 5/8 = 0.625

Complex Calculations: You can use fractions in expressions like "(1/2)+(1/4)" which Google will calculate as 0.75.
