Complex Fraction Calculator

A Simple Way to Work with Fractions

Use this complex fraction calculator to divide one value by another. Enter simple fractions, whole numbers, decimals, or mixed numbers. Mixed numbers use a plus or a minus, like 2+1/3 or 5-1/4. You get a decimal result and a simplified fraction.

The tool handles common classroom and work tasks. It solves a fraction over a fraction in one step. It accepts clear inputs and returns clean results. The setup feels quick and calm.

How It Works

The calculator turns your entries into numbers and performs a single division. It supports these input formats in each box:

• Simple fractions like 1/2 or -7/8
• Whole numbers like 3 or -4
• Decimals like 0.25 or -2.5
• Mixed numbers with plus like 2+1/3
• Mixed numbers with minus like 7-2/5

It divides the numerator by the denominator. It then shows the decimal result with up to six places. It also shows a fraction in simplest terms or as a mixed number. The fraction uses a close match with a maximum denominator of 10000.

Examples match what the tool accepts. Try 1/2 over 3/4 for 2/3. Try 2+1/3 over 1+1/2 for 1 5/9.

Addressing Your Needs

What each input field expects

• Numerator: Enter one value in a supported format. Examples include 1/2, -3, 0.6, 4+1/5, 5-1/4.
• Denominator: Enter one value in a supported format. Use a nonzero value like 3/4, 2, 1+1/2, or 0.25.
• Spaces around signs and slashes are fine.

What the output shows

• The tool echoes your entries and their decimal forms.
• Decimal shows up to six places with trimmed zeros.
• Fraction appears simplified or as a mixed number.
• Negative results show the minus sign in front.

Notes and limits

• Enter a single value per field.
• Use a nonzero denominator to avoid an error.
• Only the plus or minus in mixed numbers is supported inside a value.
• Parentheses and extra operations inside a field fall outside the scope.
• Repeating decimals produce a rounded decimal and a close fraction.
• Press Enter in either box to run the calculation fast.

Common use cases

• Divide one fraction by another for homework checks
• Work with mixed numbers in word problems
• Scale recipe ratios with odd measurements
• Compare rates like speed per unit time
• Quick checks for physics or finance worksheets
