FRACTION HELP                 

 

A fraction is a numerical quantity that is not a whole number, it is a part of a whole, i.e. 1/2. Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show the same amount. Improper fractions have numerators that are higher than the denominator, while mixed fractions contain whole numbers and fractions.

 

There are rules used for expressions with fractions, for instance, a Slash (/) is fraction bar or division sign, Colon (:) is symbol for division, Asterisk (*) is symbol for multiplication, plus (+) is addition, minus sign (-) is subtraction and () [] is mathematical parentheses. In order to compare fractions, you need to change them so they have the same denominator. Fractions can be converted into decimals. All the expressions make working out fractions of a given quantity easy. A fraction can be in a form of a mixed number for example as 1 2/3 (one and two-thirds).

 

Decimal numbers are written with a decimal point . and can also automatically converted to fractions.

 

A multiplying fractions calculator performs basic and advanced operations with fractions, integers, decimals and mixed numbers. Also shows detailed step-by-step information about fraction calculation procedure. Solve problems with two, three or more fractions and numbers in one expression.

 

Adding fractions takes three simple steps, first make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same, secondly, Add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator and lastly, simplify the fraction (if needed). The three steps are useful on how to add fractions without difficulties. For more facts about calculators, visit this website at http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Calculators.

 

In multiplication, multiplying by a fraction is taking a part of the multiplicand, as many times as there are like parts of a unit in the fraction multiplier. To multiply fractions, there are three steps to be followed, first, simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms, then, multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator and lastly multiply the denominators of the fractions to get the new denominator and Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

 

Calculator for fractions can also be used a part from the normal book calculation. To do the calculations, enter fractions and press the (=) button, then, enter simple fractions with slash (/) or Enter mixed numbers with space, then press (answer) button.

 

In dividing fractions, there are three simple steps to divide fractions, first, turn the second fraction (the one you want to divide by) upside down (this is now a reciprocal),secondly, multiply the first fraction by that reciprocal then simplify the fraction (if needed).Just as in multiplication, a dividing fraction calculator can be used too using the same procedure but in place of  multiplication, a division sign is used.
