1. What is the Three Fractions Calculator?

The Three Fractions Calculator performs mathematical operations on three fractions with two operations between them. It can handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions in sequence.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator performs operations in the following order:

\[ \left( \frac{a}{b} \text{ op1 } \frac{c}{d} \right) \text{ op2 } \frac{e}{f} \]

Where:

a, c, e — Numerators
b, d, f — Denominators (cannot be zero)
op1, op2 — Mathematical operations (+, -, ×, ÷)

Explanation: The calculator first performs the operation between the first two fractions, then performs the second operation with the third fraction.

3. Importance of Fraction Operations

Details: Fraction operations are fundamental in mathematics and have applications in science, engineering, finance, and everyday life situations like cooking and measurements.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all numerators and denominators, select the operations you want to perform. Denominators must be non-zero values.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What order are the operations performed in?
A: The calculator performs operations from left to right, first between the first two fractions, then with the third fraction.

Q2: Can I use negative numbers?
A: Yes, numerators can be negative, but denominators must be positive non-zero numbers.

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

Q4: What if I divide by zero?
A: The calculator won't allow zero denominators. If you try to submit with a zero denominator, it will show an error.

Q5: Can I chain more than three fractions?
A: This calculator is designed for exactly three fractions with two operations. For more complex calculations, you would need to perform multiple steps.
