1. What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number) separated by a fraction bar.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple fraction formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (the number of parts)
• \( b \) — Denominator (the total number of equal parts)

Explanation: The fraction represents the division of the numerator by the denominator.

3. Importance of Fractions

Details: Fractions are fundamental in mathematics and daily life, used in measurements, ratios, probabilities, and many practical applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any real number for the numerator and any non-zero real number for the denominator. The calculator will compute the division result.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What happens if I enter 0 for the denominator?
A: Division by zero is undefined. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.

Q2: Can I enter decimal numbers?
A: Yes, both numerator and denominator can be decimal numbers.

Q3: How precise is the calculation?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for readability.

Q4: Can this calculator simplify fractions?
A: This version calculates the decimal equivalent. For simplified fractions, you would need to find the greatest common divisor.

Q5: What about negative fractions?
A: Negative numbers are allowed in either numerator or denominator (or both).
