1. What is the Fraction Calculator With 3 Numbers?

This calculator performs operations with three fractions (addition or subtraction). It handles expressions in the form (a/b) op1 (c/d) op2 (e/f) where op1 and op2 can be either addition or subtraction.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator performs operations step by step:

\[ \frac{a}{b} \pm \frac{c}{d} \pm \frac{e}{f} \]

Steps:

Finds common denominator for first two fractions
Performs first operation (+ or -)
Finds common denominator with third fraction
Performs second operation (+ or -)
Simplifies the final result

3. Importance of Fraction Calculations

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

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all numerators and denominators (denominators cannot be zero). Select operations (+ or -) between each fraction pair. The calculator will simplify the final result.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, numerators can be negative, but denominators must be positive.

Q2: What if I get a whole number result?
A: The calculator will display it as a whole number (e.g., 2 instead of 2/1).

Q3: How does simplification work?
A: The calculator finds the greatest common divisor (GCD) to reduce the fraction to simplest form.

Q4: Can I use this for mixed numbers?
A: First convert mixed numbers to improper fractions before using this calculator.

Q5: What about multiplication or division?
A: This calculator only handles addition and subtraction operations.
