Fractions Calculator - Advanced calculator features

If you've ever found yourself stuck trying to figure out fractions—whether it’s adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing them—this app is here to help. It’s designed not just to give you the right answer but to actually show you how to get there, step by step.

As you use the app, you'll learn essential concepts like how to find the least common denominator, the difference between proper and improper fractions, and how to simplify results. It breaks everything down in a clear and understandable way, making it perfect for students, parents helping with homework, or anyone who wants to brush up on their math skills.

One of the app’s strengths is that it’s more than just a calculator—it’s a learning tool. By walking you through each solution, it helps you build confidence and a solid understanding of fractions so you’re better equipped for math problems in the future.

Latest update: The app now supports negative numbers. You can input a negative fraction by setting the whole number part as negative. And if there’s no whole number, simply add a minus sign to the fraction itself. This new feature makes the app even more flexible for tackling a wider range of problems.

Whether you’re studying for a test, supporting your child’s learning, or just trying to improve your math basics, this app makes working with fractions a lot less stressful—and even a bit more enjoyable.

How to use:

Just type in the fractions you want using the keypad. Select any of the editable fields and the keypad appears. The field being editing is shown with a yellow background. You can change more than one number at a time by selecting each field and typing the number. When you have set the fractions as you want then select 'OK'. The keypad is dismissed and the answer is shown.

Use the four calculation buttons (add, subtract, divide and multiply) to select the type of action.

Select the 'Workings' button to see how the result was calculated. This page has sections that explain how the whole number parts are handled, finding the lowest common denomitor, the greatest common factor, how adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying work and how fractions are simplified.

* Please note that this calculator adheres to the proper order of operations, meaning that multiplication and division are prioritized over addition and subtraction.
