Mixed number calculator
This calculator performs basic and advanced operations with mixed numbers, fractions, integers, and decimals. Mixed numbers are also called mixed fractions. A mixed number 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.
The result:
1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12 ≅ 0.4166667
The spelled result in words is five twelfths.Calculation steps
- Add: 1/4 + 1/6 = 1 · 3/4 · 3 + 1 · 2/6 · 2 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 3 + 2/12 = 5/12
It is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(4, 6) = 12. It is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 6 = 24. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - one quarter plus one sixth is five twelfths.
What is a mixed number?
A mixed number is an integer and fraction acb whose value equals the sum of that integer and fraction. For example, we write two and four-fifths as 254. Its value is 254=2+54=510+54=514. The mixed number is the exception - the missing operand between a whole number and a fraction is not multiplication but an addition: 254=2⋅ 54. A negative mixed number - the minus sign also applies to the fractional −254=−(254)=−(2+54)=−514. A mixed number is sometimes called a mixed fraction. Usually, a mixed number contains a natural number and a proper fraction, and its value is an improper fraction, that is, one where the numerator is greater than the denominator.How do I imagine a mixed number?
We can imagine mixed numbers in the example of cakes. We have three cakes, and we have divided each into five parts. We thus obtained 3 * 5 = 15 pieces of cake. One piece when we ate, there were 14 pieces left, which is 254 of cake. When we eat two pieces, 253 of the cake remains.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
