Frequently Asked Questions

How do you add or subtract fractions with different denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators, you must first find their Least Common Denominator (LCD). Rewrite both fractions with the LCD, perform the operation on the numerators, and simplify.

What is the difference between a proper, improper, and mixed fraction?

A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than its denominator (e.g., 3/4). An improper fraction has a larger or equal numerator (e.g., 5/4). A mixed fraction combines a whole number and a proper fraction (e.g., 1 1/4).

How does this calculator simplify fractions?

Our calculator simplifies fractions by finding the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, then dividing both numbers by the GCD to reduce the fraction.
