1. What is the Fractions And Whole Numbers Calculator?

This calculator performs basic arithmetic operations between fractions and whole numbers. It can handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of a fraction (a/b) with a whole number (c).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard arithmetic operations:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator of the fraction
• \( b \) — Denominator of the fraction
• \( c \) — Whole number
• \( op \) — Operation (+, -, ×, ÷)

Explanation: The calculator first converts the fraction to its decimal equivalent, then performs the selected operation with the whole number.

3. Importance of Fraction Calculations

Details: Understanding operations with fractions and whole numbers is fundamental in mathematics, with applications in science, engineering, cooking, and everyday measurements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the numerator and denominator for the fraction, the whole number, and select the operation. Denominator must be non-zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I enter decimal numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal numbers for all inputs.

Q2: What if I enter zero for the denominator?
A: The calculator will not compute a result as division by zero is undefined.

Q3: How precise are the results?
A: Results are rounded to 4 decimal places for readability.

Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, negative numbers are accepted for numerator and whole number, but denominator must be positive.

Q5: Does it show the calculation steps?
A: Currently it only shows the final result, but displays the input expression.
