1. What is the Fraction Calculator?

This calculator performs operations between two fractional expressions that may include variables (letters). It can handle both symbolic expressions and numeric calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator works with expressions in the form:

\[ \frac{ax}{b} \text{ op } \frac{cy}{d} \]

Where:

\( a, c \) — Coefficients (numeric values)
\( x, y \) — Variables (letters or numbers)
\( b, d \) — Denominators (non-zero numeric values)
\( op \) — Mathematical operation (+, -, *, /)

Explanation: The calculator can display the symbolic expression or compute a numeric result if variables are given numeric values.

3. Mathematical Operations

Details: The calculator supports all four basic arithmetic operations between two fractional expressions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter coefficients and denominators as numbers. Variables can be letters or numbers. Denominators must be non-zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use multiple letters as variables?
A: Currently, the calculator supports single-letter variables. For multiple letters, enter them without spaces (e.g., "xy").

Q2: What happens if I enter numbers for variables?
A: If both variables are numbers, the calculator will compute and display the numeric result.

Q3: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, coefficients and denominators can be negative (except denominators cannot be zero).

Q4: How precise are the calculations?
A: Calculations are performed with floating-point precision and displayed with 4 decimal places.

Q5: Can I use this for complex fractions?
A: This calculator handles simple fractions. For complex fractions, consider breaking them down into multiple steps.
