Fraction calculator with steps

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions can be written i.e. 5/100 (five hundredths) and mixed fractions i.e. 1 2/3 (one and two-thirds). The numerator (number above a fraction line) and denominator (number below) is separated by the slash.
mixed numerals (mixed fractions or mixed numbers) can be entered as non-zero integer separated by one space and fraction, i.e. 1 2/3 (having the same sign). An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2.
Because slash is both signs for fraction line and division, we recommended use colon (:) as operator of division fractions i.e. 1/2 : 3.

Decimals (decimal numbers) can be written with a decimal point . and are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.

Colon : and slash / is the symbol of division. Can be used to divide mixed numbers 1 2/3 : 4 3/8 or can be used for write compound/complex fractions i.e. 1/2 : 1/3.
An asterisk * or × is the symbol for multiplication.
Plus + is addition, minus sign - is subtraction and ()[] is mathematical parentheses.
The exponentiation/power symbol is ^ - for example: (7/8-4/5)^2 = (7/8-4/5)²
