1. What is the 3 Digit Fraction Comparison Tool?

This tool compares three fractions with numerators and denominators up to 3 digits each. It calculates their decimal equivalents and sorts them from smallest to largest, helping you understand their relative sizes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator converts each fraction to its decimal equivalent:

\[ \frac{a}{b} = a \div b \]

Then compares the decimal values to determine the order from smallest to largest.

3. Importance of Fraction Comparison

Details: Comparing fractions is essential in mathematics, engineering, and various real-world applications where proportional relationships matter.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter numerators and denominators (all must be positive integers, denominators cannot be zero). The tool will show the fractions in order from smallest to largest with their decimal equivalents.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if two fractions have the same value?
A: The tool will show them as equal (using = instead of <) in the results.

Q2: Can I compare improper fractions?
A: Yes, the tool works with both proper and improper fractions.

Q3: How precise are the decimal values?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for clarity.

Q4: What's the maximum value allowed?
A: Numerators and denominators must be 3-digit numbers (0-999).

Q5: Can I compare more than three fractions?
A: This tool is designed for three fractions. For more, you might need a different calculator.
