1. What is This Calculator For?

This calculator performs operations between whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. It can handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division between these different number formats.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( c \) — Whole number (unitless)
• \( op \) — Mathematical operator (+, -, ×, ÷)
• \( \frac{a}{b} \) — Fraction (a = numerator, b = denominator)
• \( d \) — Decimal number (unitless)

3. Understanding the Calculation

Details: The calculator first converts the fraction to a decimal, then performs the first operation between the whole number and the fraction, and finally performs the second operation with the decimal number.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter a whole number, select an operator, enter fraction numerator and denominator (denominator cannot be zero), select another operator, and enter a decimal number.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What happens if I divide by zero?
A: The calculator will return "Undefined (division by zero)" as division by zero is mathematically undefined.

Q2: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can use negative numbers for the whole number, fraction components, and decimal.

Q3: How precise are the calculations?
A: Calculations are performed with floating-point precision, but results are displayed with up to 6 decimal places.

Q4: What's the maximum number I can enter?
A: The calculator can handle very large numbers, but extremely large values might lead to precision issues.

Q5: Can I chain more than two operations?
A: This calculator is designed for two operations only. For more complex calculations, consider using a scientific calculator.
