1. What is the Fractions And Decimals Calculator?

The Fractions and Decimals Calculator performs basic arithmetic operations between fractions and decimals. It helps convert between fractional and decimal representations and performs calculations with mixed number types.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard arithmetic operations:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (unitless)
• \( b \) — Denominator (unitless)
• \( d \) — Decimal value (unitless)
• \( op \) — Operation (+, -, ×, ÷)

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

3. Importance of Fraction-Decimal Calculations

Details: Converting between fractions and decimals is essential in many fields including engineering, science, and finance. This calculator helps bridge these representations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter numerator and denominator (b cannot be zero), enter a decimal value, and select the operation. All values must be valid numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Q2: How precise are the calculations?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for display, but calculations use full precision internally.

Q3: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator supports negative values for both fractions and decimals.

Q4: What operations are supported?
A: The calculator supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Q5: Can I input very large numbers?
A: Yes, but extremely large numbers may be subject to floating-point precision limitations.
