Mixed Number Calculator

Using the Mixed Number Calculator

Step 1: Enter the First Mixed Number

Begin by entering the details of the first mixed number:

• Whole Number: Input the whole number part of the first mixed number into the field labeled “Whole Number”. Ensure the number entered is 0 or greater, as per the validation rules.
• Numerator: Enter the numerator of the fractional part in the “Numerator” field. This number must also be a non-negative integer.
• Denominator: Enter the denominator in the “Denominator” field. The value must be 1 or greater as it serves as the divisor of the fraction, and a denominator cannot be zero.

Step 2: Select the Operation

Next, choose the operation you would like to perform by selecting an option from the “Operation” dropdown menu. The available options include:

• Addition (+)
• Subtraction (-)
• Multiplication (×)
• Division (÷)

Make sure to choose the operation that corresponds with the calculation you wish to perform on the mixed numbers.

Step 3: Enter the Second Mixed Number

Input the details of the second mixed number as follows:

• Second Whole Number: Input the whole number part of the second mixed number into the field labeled “Second Whole Number”. The number must be 0 or greater.
• Second Numerator: Enter the numerator of the fractional part in the “Second Numerator” field. It must be a non-negative integer.
• Second Denominator: Enter the denominator in the “Second Denominator” field. The value must be 1 or greater.

Step 4: View the Results

Once you have entered all the required fields, the calculator will automatically display the results:

• First Number as Improper Fraction: The first mixed number will be converted to an improper fraction using the calculation logic: “(wholeNumber * denominator + numerator) + ‘/’ + denominator”.
• Second Number as Improper Fraction: Similarly, the second mixed number will be converted to an improper fraction with the formula: “(wholeNumber2 * denominator2 + numerator2) + ‘/’ + denominator2”.
• First Number as Decimal: The first number will also be displayed as a decimal using the calculation “wholeNumber + (numerator/denominator)” with up to four decimal places.
• Second Number as Decimal: The second number will likewise be shown as a decimal with the formula “wholeNumber2 + (numerator2/denominator2)” and up to four decimal places.
• Final Result: The calculator will perform the selected operation on the decimal equivalents of both mixed numbers and display the final result. The operations will be executed as follows: addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, depending on your selection, and are formatted to four decimal places.

The Mixed Number Calculator provides an efficient and accurate way to perform mathematical operations on mixed numbers, yielding both fractional and decimal results for comprehensive analysis.
