Addition of Three Fractions Formula:
From: | To: |
Adding three fractions with different denominators requires finding a common denominator. The formula combines all three fractions into a single fraction by multiplying each numerator by the other denominators.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula finds a common denominator (b×d×f) and adjusts each numerator accordingly before summing them.
Details: To add fractions, they must have the same denominator. This calculator automatically finds the least common multiple of all denominators.
Tips: Enter all six values (three numerators and three denominators). Denominators cannot be zero. The calculator will simplify the result if possible.
Q1: What if one denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined. All denominators must be positive integers.
Q2: Does the calculator simplify the result?
A: Yes, it provides both the raw result and simplified form (if different).
Q3: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator handles negative numerators and denominators.
Q4: What's the maximum number size?
A: Limited by PHP's integer size (typically ±2 billion). For very large numbers, precision may be affected.
Q5: How is the decimal result calculated?
A: By dividing the final numerator by the denominator, rounded to 4 decimal places.
