Add, subtract, multiply, and divide your mixed with this mixed numbers calculator. Yes, this mixed number calculator performs maths quickly and displays all absolute results in moments. With that, you can get step-by-step calculations that help you to understand how fractions have been reduced.
‘It is a combined representation of a whole number and a proper fraction’
Whether you have complex mixed fractions or partial proper fractions with partial whole integers, our mixed fraction calculator can instantly reduce them to the most simplified notation without any human intervention.
This is the first rule for solving mixed numbers in mathematics. To convert, follow the lead:
When you enter fractions in our mixed numbers calculator, it automatically turns them into improper forms and simplifies them according to math rules.
Let’s apply arithmetic operations to 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.
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
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
Let us guide you on how you can use the tool!
The equivalent mixed number of 2.5 is 2 ½ which can also be verified with the mixed number calculator.
