1. What is Fraction Calculator With Parentheses And Negative?

This calculator performs arithmetic operations on fractions that may include negative signs and parentheses. It handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions with proper sign management.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following mathematical operations:

\[ \left(\pm\frac{a}{b}\right) \text{ op } \left(\frac{c}{d}\right) \]

Where:

\( a \) — First fraction numerator
\( b \) — First fraction denominator
\( c \) — Second fraction numerator
\( d \) — Second fraction denominator
\( \pm \) — Sign of first fraction
\( op \) — Operation (+, -, ×, ÷)

Explanation: The calculator first applies the sign to the first fraction, then performs the specified arithmetic operation between the two fractions.

3. Importance of Fraction Calculation

Details: Accurate fraction calculations are essential in mathematics, engineering, and sciences. Proper handling of signs and operations ensures correct results in equations and formulas.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all numerator and denominator values as integers. Select the operation and sign for the first fraction. Denominators cannot be zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Q2: How precise are the results?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for readability while maintaining reasonable precision.

Q3: Can I enter negative numbers in the numerators/denominators?
A: Yes, but the sign selector applies to the entire first fraction. For negative second fractions, use a negative numerator.

Q4: What's the difference between the sign selector and negative numerator?
A: The sign selector applies to the entire first fraction, while a negative numerator makes just the numerator negative.

Q5: Does the calculator simplify fractions?
A: The current version returns decimal results. Future versions may include simplified fraction outputs.
