What is a Simplifying Fractions Calculator?

A Simplifying Fractions Calculator is an online tool that ease to lessen a specified fractions to its lowest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF), that outcomes the equivalent fraction with smaller numbers.

How Simplification of Fractions works?

  • A number (other than 1) that divides equally into the numerator and denominator is a prerequisite for simplifying a fraction.
  • The numerator can be changed to a mixed number as it is an improper fraction because it is greater than the denominator.

How to Simplify Fractions?

Our Simplifying Fractions Calculator makes it easy to handle decimals, reduce fractions, and turn improper fractions into mixed numbers. Here's how you use it:

Step 1: Input the fraction

Enter an improper fraction (e.g., ), or a correct fraction (), in the input field. After processing your input, the calculator will reduce it to the simplest mixed form.

Step 2: Submit

Click the "Submit" button to get the result instantly.

Step 3: Show Simplified Fractions

  • For proper fractions, the calculator will reduce them to lowest terms.
  • The calculator will simplify improper fractions (if feasible) before converting them to mixed numbers.
  • If desired, it will also display the step-by-step procedure, which includes the greatest common divisor (GCD).

What is an Improper Fraction?

An improper fraction is a type of fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Examples: , ,  

 

Converting an Incorrect Fraction to a Mixed Number: 

 

  • The numerator is divided by the denominator.
  • Put the whole number for the quotient in writing.
  • With the denominator remains unchanged, use the remainder as the numerator.

FAQs

Is it possible to use this fraction calculator with negative fractions?

     Yes, our fraction simplifier keeps the negative sign intact, and before the sign is applied again, the simplification process            employs absolute values.

Can this fraction calculator simplify exceedingly large numbers?

     Absolutely, this tool can handle large integers efficiently by applying the greatest common divisor (GCD) method.

Can it drive percentages or decimals?

     Yes, our calculator automatically converts decimals and percentages to fraction form before simplifying them.

What if my fraction is already in the simplest form?

     This fraction simplifier calculator will recognize that and verify that there is no way to simplify it further.
