Guide to Using the Simplifying Calculator

This Simplifying Calculator allows you to perform basic arithmetic operations on fractions, and provides both simplified and decimal results. Follow the steps below to effectively use this tool.

Step 1: Input the First Fraction

  1. First Number (Numerator): Enter the numerator of the first fraction in the field labeled “First Number (Numerator)”. This is a required field and accepts integers between -1,000,000 and 1,000,000.

  2. First Number (Denominator): Enter the denominator of the first fraction in the field labeled “First Number (Denominator)”. This field is also required and accepts the same range of integers as the numerator. Ensure that the denominator is not zero.

Step 2: Select the Operation

Choose the desired operation from the dropdown menu labeled “Operation”. The available operations include:

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

This step is mandatory for the calculation.

Step 3: Input the Second Fraction

  1. Second Number (Numerator): Enter the numerator of the second fraction in the field labeled “Second Number (Numerator)”. This is a required input and, like the first numerator, accepts integers between -1,000,000 and 1,000,000.

  2. Second Number (Denominator): Enter the denominator of the second fraction in the field labeled “Second Number (Denominator)”. Ensure that this field is also filled with a non-zero integer within the same range as other numerical inputs.

Step 4: View the Results

Once you have entered all required inputs, the calculator will compute the following outputs:

  • Result Numerator: Displays the computed numerator based on your selected operation.
  • Result Denominator: Shows the resultant denominator corresponding to the operation.
  • Simplified Numerator: The simplified form of the resulting fraction’s numerator, calculated using the greatest common divisor (GCD).
  • Simplified Denominator: The denominator in its simplest form, using the GCD for reduction.
  • Decimal Result: The decimal equivalent of the resulting fraction, rounded to four decimal places.

By following these steps, you can effectively use the Simplifying Calculator to perform operations on fractions and obtain both precise and simplified results.
