Mixed number calculator
This calculator performs basic and advanced operations with mixed numbers, fractions, integers, decimals. Mixed fractions are also called mixed numbers. A mixed fraction is a whole number and a proper fraction combined, i.e. one and three-quarters. The calculator evaluates the expression or solves the equation with step-by-step calculation progress information. Solve problems with two or more mixed numbers fractions in one expression.
Result:
1/2 - 1/8 = 3/8 = 0.375
Spelled result in words is three eighths.Calculation steps
- Subtract: 1/2 - 1/8 = 1 · 4/2 · 4 - 1/8 = 4/8 - 1/8 = 4 - 1/8 = 3/8
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(2, 8) = 8. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 8 = 16. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - one half minus one eighth = three eighths.
Examples:
• sum of two mixed numbers: 1 3/4 + 2 3/8• addition of three mixed numbers: 1 3/8 + 6 11/13 + 5 7/8
• addition of two mixed numbers: 2 1/2 + 4 2/3
• subtracting two mixed numbers: 7 1/2 - 5 3/4
• multiplication of mixed numbers: 3 3/4 * 2 2/5
• comparing mixed numbers: 3 1/4 2 1/3
• changing improper fraction to mixed number: 9/4
• What is 3/4 as a mixed number: 3/4
• subtracting mixed number and fraction: 1 3/5 - 5/6
• sum mixed number and an improper fraction: 1 3/5 + 11/5
