About Fraction Calculator
Fractions trip people up because the rules change with the operation: common denominators here, flipping and multiplying there. One small slip and the whole answer is off. This calculator handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and, just as usefully, shows the steps so you can follow how it got there.
Enter two fractions, pick an operation, and the tool returns the simplified result along with a step-by-step breakdown. It's free, runs in your browser, and needs no signup. Whether you're checking homework, helping someone learn, or just want a clean answer in lowest terms, the worked steps make it a teaching aid as much as a calculator.
Common uses
