1. What is Fraction Sign Number?

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. In mathematics, a fraction is expressed as a ratio of two integers, one written above the other and separated by a fraction bar.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the fraction formula:

\[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Numerator}}{\text{Denominator}} \]

Where:

Numerator — The top number in a fraction
Denominator — The bottom number in a fraction (cannot be zero)

Explanation: The calculator converts the fraction to decimal form and also provides the simplified fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD).

3. Importance of Fraction Representation

Details: Fractions are essential in mathematics, engineering, and sciences for precise representation of quantities that are not whole numbers. They allow exact representation of values that would otherwise be repeating decimals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any integer for numerator and any positive integer for denominator. The calculator will show both the decimal equivalent and simplified fraction form.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is an improper fraction?
A: An improper fraction has a numerator larger than or equal to its denominator (e.g., 5/3).

Q2: What is a proper fraction?
A: A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than its denominator (e.g., 3/5).

Q3: Can the denominator be zero?
A: No, division by zero is undefined in mathematics.

Q4: What is a mixed number?
A: A combination of a whole number and a proper fraction (e.g., 1 1/2).

Q5: How to convert decimal to fraction?
A: Multiply the decimal by a power of 10 to make it an integer, then simplify (e.g., 0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4).
