How to Use the Mixed Fractions Calculator

Step 1: Input the First Mixed Fraction

Begin by entering the details of the first mixed fraction. Complete the following fields:

  • Whole Number 1: Enter the whole number part of the first mixed fraction. This should be a whole number.
  • Numerator 1: Enter the numerator of the fractional part. Ensure the value is zero or greater.
  • Denominator 1: Enter the denominator of the fractional part. This must be a number greater than zero.

Step 2: Select the Operation

Choose the mathematical operation you wish to execute on the two mixed fractions. The available operations include:

  • Addition (+): To sum the fractions.
  • Subtraction (-): To find the difference between the fractions.
  • Multiplication (×): To multiply the fractions.
  • Division (÷): To divide the first fraction by the second.

Step 3: Input the Second Mixed Fraction

Now, enter the second mixed fraction’s details. Fill in the following fields:

  • Whole Number 2: Input the whole number part of the second mixed fraction. This should also be a whole number.
  • Numerator 2: Enter the numerator of the fractional part. Ensure it is zero or more.
  • Denominator 2: Specify the denominator of the fractional part. It should be greater than zero.

Step 4: Calculate the Result

Once you have entered all the necessary information and selected an operation, proceed to calculate the result. The calculator will provide you with:

  • First Fraction (Improper): The improper fraction equivalent of the first mixed fraction.
  • Second Fraction (Improper): The improper fraction equivalent of the second mixed fraction.
  • Result Numerator: The numerator of the result based on the selected operation.
  • Result Denominator: The denominator of the result.
  • Whole Number Result: The whole number part of the final result.
  • Remainder Numerator: The numerator of the remainder, if any, after calculating the result.

Step 5: Interpret the Results

Review the output provided by the calculator to comprehend the final result. The result is presented as a mixed number, consisting of:

  • Whole Number Result: The integer part of the result.
  • Remainder Numerator: Along with the result denominator, this forms the fractional part of the mixed number.
