HOW DOES A MIXED FRACTION CALCULATOR HELP
These days there are several software which helps us in our academic lives. It could be in any field - from something as complicated as programming to finance to something as simple as math operations. One such math software is the online mixed fraction calculator. These help you with simple operations which otherwise could get quite confusing and slow for example operations on integers, whole numbers, fractions or improper fractions, mixed numbers or mixed fractions.

<strong>HOW</strong> <strong>DOES</strong> A <strong>MIXED</strong> <strong>FRACTION</strong><br />
<strong>CALCULATOR</strong> <strong>HELP</strong>
A mixed fraction calculator lets the user give<br />
the numerators and denominators of two<br />
fractions and do quite basic mathematical<br />
operations like addition, subtraction, division<br />
or multiplication of fractions.
To be able to use an<br />
online mixed fraction<br />
calculator, you need to<br />
input a minimum of<br />
two mixed numbers<br />
which will be shown as<br />
a whole number as<br />
well as a fraction. To<br />
get an answer all you<br />
need to do is click the<br />
calculate button or any<br />
other button that<br />
seems alike.
You will get your<br />
result. It would be<br />
better to double<br />
check the<br />
answers.<br />
There are several<br />
online mixed<br />
fraction calculators<br />
like say Math Papa<br />
or Calculator<br />
Soup.
The advantagesin using suchmath software are –<br />
•It makes calculations that though simple are a<br />
little time taking much faster and easier.
•Not only do these<br />
mixed number<br />
calculators give<br />
you the answer<br />
and perform the<br />
calculation, but<br />
they also give you<br />
the mathematical<br />
proof to a certain<br />
extent.
For example – if you<br />
use Calculator Soup,<br />
and two mixed<br />
numbers are added,<br />
the math software<br />
will show you the<br />
steps in which the<br />
mixed numbers are<br />
converted to<br />
improper fractions.
It then crosses multiplies to find a denominator which is<br />
common; then the improper fractions are added, and the<br />
final answer is converted into a proper fraction. Math<br />
Papa also uses pretty much the same basic calculations.<br />
But the mathematical proof is usually not complete as in<br />
Calculators out.
The one thing that needs to be noted is that<br />
it is always best that the answers are<br />
double checked. After all, it is possible for<br />
any calculator not to function properly or for<br />
you to type in the numbers wrongly.
How to input the numbers in the calculator?<br />
You could enter fractions, whole numbers or mixed<br />
numbers in the following formats –<br />
•Fractions - one-half will be written as 1/2 or three two<br />
hundredths as 3/200. The user is allowed to enter up to<br />
3 digits in for each of the denominators as well as<br />
numerators for example 234/456.
•Whole numbers<br />
- Whole numbers<br />
can also be<br />
similarly written<br />
Up to 3 digits.
•Mixed numbers – One and three-fourths should be written as 1<br />
3/4 or twenty-four and three twenty seconds should be written as<br />
24 3/22. You need to keep correctly one space between the<br />
fraction and the whole number, and also you have to use a<br />
forward slash to keying the fractions. Here too you are allowed to<br />
enter up to 3 digits for every whole number, denominator or<br />
numerator for example - 456123/789).<br />
