Calculator Use

Do math calculations with mixed numbers


(mixed fractions) performing operations on
fractions, whole numbers, integers, mixed
numbers, mixed fractions and improper
fractions. The Mixed Numbers Calculator can
add, subtract, multiply and divide mixed
numbers and fractions.

Mixed Numbers Calculator (also referred to as


Mixed Fractions):

This online calculator handles simple operations


on whole numbers, integers, mixed numbers,
fractions and improper fractions by adding,
subtracting, dividing or multiplying. The answer
is provided in a reduced fraction and a mixed
number if it exists.

Enter mixed numbers, whole numbers or


fractions in the following formats:

Mixed numbers: Enter as 1 1/2 which is


one and one half or 25 3/32 which is
twenty five and three thirty seconds. Keep
exactly one space between the whole
number and fraction and use a forward
slash to input fractions. You can enter up
to 3 digits in length for each whole
number, numerator or denominator (123
456/789).
Whole numbers: Up to 3 digits in length.
Fractions: Enter as 3/4 which is three
fourths or 3/100 which is three one
hundredths. You can enter up to 3 digits in
length for each the numerators and
denominators (e.g., 456/789).

Adding Mixed Numbers using the


Adding Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper


fractions
2. Use the algebraic formula for addition of
fractions:
a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Adding Fractions Formula

a c (a × d) + (b × c)
+ =
b d b×d
Example

Add 1 2/6 and 2 1/4

2 1 8 9
1 +2 = +
6 4 6 4
(8 × 4) + (9 × 6)
=
6×4
32 + 54 86 43
= = =
24 24 12
7
=3
12
1 2/6 + 2 1/4 = 8/6 + 9/4 = (8*4 + 9*6) / 6*4 = 86
/ 24

So we get 86/24 and simplify to 3 7/12

Subtracting Mixed Numbers using the


Subtracting Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper


fractions
2. Use the algebraic formula for subtraction
of fractions: a/b - c/d = (ad - bc) / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Subtracting Fractions Formula

a c (a × d) − (b × c)
− =
b d b×d
Example

Subtract 2 1/4 from 1 2/6

1 2/6 - 2 1/4 = 8/6 - 9/4 = (8*4 - 9*6) / 6*4 = -22 /


24

Reduce the fraction to get -11/12

Multiplying Mixed Numbers using the


Multiplying Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper


fractions
2. Use the algebraic formula for multiplying
of fractions: a/b * c/d = ac / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Multiplying Fractions Formula

a c a×c
× =
b d b×d
Example

multiply 1 2/6 by 2 1/4

1 2/6 * 2 1/4 = 8/6 * 9/4 = 8*9 / 6*4 = 72 / 24

Reduce the fraction to get 3/1 and simplify to 3

Dividing Mixed Numbers using the


Dividing Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper


fractions
2. Use the algebraic formula for division of
fractions: a/b ÷ c/d = ad / bc
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Dividing Fractions Formula

a c a×d
÷ =
b d b×c
Example

divide 1 2/6 by 2 1/4

1 2/6 ÷ 2 1/4 = 8/6 ÷ 9/4 = 8*4 / 9*6 = 32 / 54

Reduce the fraction to get 16/27
