Add, subtract, multiply and divide two fractions and get the answer fully simplified, plus its mixed-number and decimal forms. It accepts fractions, mixed numbers, whole numbers and even decimals as input. Everything is calculated in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

How to use

  1. Type the first fraction (for example 3/4 or 1 1/2).
  2. Choose an operation: add, subtract, multiply or divide.
  3. Type the second fraction and read the simplified result.

How it works

To add or subtract, the fractions are put over a common denominator; to multiply, the numerators and denominators are multiplied; to divide, the second fraction is flipped and multiplied. The result is then reduced to lowest terms by dividing both parts by their greatest common divisor. For example, 1/2 + 1/3 becomes 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.

One half plus one third equals five sixths.1/2+1/3=5/6

FAQ

How do I enter a mixed number?
Write the whole part, a space, then the fraction — for example 1 1/2 for one and a half.
Does it simplify the answer?
Yes. Every result is automatically reduced to lowest terms using the greatest common divisor.
Can I enter decimals?
Yes. A decimal like 0.75 is converted to a fraction (3/4) before the calculation.
What happens if I divide by zero?
Division by zero is undefined, so the calculator shows an error instead of a result.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All calculation happens locally in your browser.
