Mixed Number To Improper Fraction Conversion:
This is the first rule for solving mixed numbers in mathematics. To convert, follow the lead:
- Multiply the denominator of the mixed fraction with the whole number
- Now add the result in the original numerator
- In the end, rewrite the improper fraction by placing the addition answer as a new numerator over the original denominator
When you enter fractions in our mixed numbers calculator, it automatically turns them into improper forms and simplifies them according to math rules.

How To Add Mixed Fractions?
1 4/5 + 2 3/6
Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 4/5 + 2 3/6
= 9/5 + 15/6
Now adding mixed fractions given:
a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd
= 9/5 + 15/6
= (54+75)/30
= 129/30
This is the required answer that you can also verify with the adding mixed fractions calculator.
How to Subtract Mixed Numbers?
Consider the same fractions:
9/5 + 15/6
Using the expression for subtracting mixed numbers:
a/b - c/d = (ad - bc) / bd
= (54-75)/30
= -21/30
Dividing both numbers by 3, we get;
= -7/10
How To Divide Mixed Fractions?
Dividing mixed fractions becomes so fast if you do it with our unbeatable mixed fractions calculator. However, if your goal is to simplify by hand, we prefer going through the following example:
2 8/3 ÷ 1 2/3
= 14/3 х 5/3
= 14/3 х 3/5
= 42/15
