1. What is Fraction and Number Operations?

This calculator performs basic arithmetic operations between fractions and whole numbers. It can handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions with numbers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator performs the following operations:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (unitless)
• \( b \) — Denominator (unitless, cannot be zero)
• \( c \) — Number (unitless)
• \( op \) — Operation (+, -, ×, ÷)

Explanation: The calculator first converts the fraction to decimal form, then performs the selected operation with the number.

3. Importance of Fraction Operations

Details: Understanding fraction operations is fundamental in mathematics, science, engineering, and everyday calculations like cooking or measurements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator (a), denominator (b), number (c), and select the operation. All values must be valid (denominator cannot be zero).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I enter decimal numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts both whole numbers and decimals for all inputs.

Q2: What happens if I divide by zero?
A: The calculator will show an error message if you attempt to divide by zero.

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

Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, negative numbers are allowed for numerator and number, but denominator must be positive.

Q5: Is this calculator suitable for complex fractions?
A: This handles basic operations. For complex fractions, consider a more advanced calculator.
