Fraction Arithmetic Formulas & Examples

Addition:        (a / b) + (c / d) = (ad + bc) / bd
Subtraction:     (a / b) − (c / d) = (ad − bc) / bd
Multiplication: (a / b) × (c / d) = (a × c) / (b × d)
Division:        (a / b) ÷ (c / d) = (a × d) / (b × c)

Example: Calculate 1/2 + 1/3:

(1 × 3 + 1 × 2) / (2 × 3) = (3 + 2) / 6 = 5/6 ≈ 0.833333

Frequently Asked Questions

To add a/b and c/d, cross-multiply to find a common denominator: (a × d + b × c) / (b × d), and then divide both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) to simplify.

Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (flipped version) of the second fraction: (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a × d) / (b × c).

Yes. You can enter negative numerators (such as -3/4) or improper fractions where the numerator is larger than the denominator (such as 7/4). The result shows both the simplified fraction and the mixed number form.

A fraction a/b represents dividing a by b. Because division by zero is mathematically undefined, any fraction must have a non-zero denominator.
