Adding Fractions Calculator
This calculator adds two fractions and shows the whole solution, not just the answer. Mixed numbers and whole numbers are accepted on both sides, so you can add 2 1/3 to 1 just as easily as 1/2 to 1/3.
For example, it can help you find out what is 1/7 plus 3/7? (The answer is: 4/7).
Enter the first fraction on the left and the second one on the right (for example '1/7' and '3/7'), then press the button.
The result is given as a fraction in its lowest terms, as a mixed number when it is greater than one, and as a decimal — with an approximation sign whenever the decimal never ends.
Every page also shows why the method works: only parts of the same size can be counted together, so both fractions are first rewritten over their least common denominator and only then are the numerators added.
