How This Fractions Calculator Works
Understanding fractions is much easier when you see the visual patterns rather than memorizing blind rules:
- Adding & Subtracting (The Butterfly Method): When denominators differ, we cross-multiply diagonally to balance the top parts, multiply the bottom denominators together, and then add or subtract the tops.
- Multiplying Fractions: Simply multiply straight across—top times top, bottom times bottom. Then simplify using the greatest common factor.
- Dividing Fractions (Keep-Change-Flip): Dividing by a fraction is the exact same as multiplying by its upside-down reciprocal!
