Note on Fractions Calculator


Introduction of Calculating Fractions:
In this section let me help you on fraction calculator. A fraction is a number that represent a part of a whole. For example 1/2. It represents half part. The upper number in a fraction is called numerator and lower number is called denominator So in the example 1/2, 1 is the numerator and 2 is the denominator. A usual fraction is also known as vulgar fraction

Fractions are mainly divided into three:

1) Proper fraction- Numerator is less than denominator eg:- 1/2,4/7

2) Improper fraction- Numerator is greater than denominator eg:-4/3,7/5

3) Mixed fraction:- A combination of a number and proper fraction. eg:- 1 1/2, 2 3/7
