1. What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. It consists of a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number) separated by a fraction bar.

2. How Does Fraction Calculation Work?

The calculator uses the basic fraction formula:

Where:

• \( a \) — Numerator (the number above the fraction line)
• \( b \) — Denominator (the number below the fraction line)
• The result is obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator

Explanation: The fraction represents how many parts we have (numerator) out of the total number of equal parts (denominator).

3. Importance of Fraction Calculation

Details: Fractions are fundamental in mathematics and appear in everyday life - from cooking measurements to financial calculations. Understanding fractions is essential for higher mathematics and practical applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any number for the numerator. The denominator must be a non-zero number. The calculator will divide numerator by denominator to give the decimal value of the fraction.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my denominator is zero?
A: Division by zero is undefined in mathematics. The calculator requires a non-zero denominator.

Q2: Can I enter negative numbers?
A: Yes, you can enter negative numbers for either numerator or denominator (but not both unless you want a positive result).

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

Q4: What about improper fractions?
A: The calculator handles all types of fractions - proper (numerator < denominator), improper (numerator > denominator), and whole numbers.

Q5: Can I calculate percentages with this?
A: Yes, since percentages are essentially fractions with denominator 100. For example, 25/100 = 0.25 which is 25%.
