How to use this calculator
- Enter the values requested by the calculator and check their units.
- Choose assumptions that match the scenario you want to estimate.
- Review the result and change one input at a time to compare scenarios.
- Verify important decisions against the relevant agreement, institution or official guidance.
How the calculation works
Addition and subtraction use a common denominator; multiplication multiplies numerators and denominators; division multiplies by the reciprocal.
Example
For 1/4 + 1/2, rewrite 1/2 as 2/4, giving 3/4.
Things to keep in mind
- Use nonzero denominators and check signs before calculating.
- A zero denominator is invalid, and division by a zero-valued fraction is undefined.
- The result is an estimate based on the inputs and assumptions provided.
- Check applicable terms and official guidance before making financial, employment or academic decisions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I divide fractions?
