1. What is a Fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. It consists of a numerator (the part) and a denominator (the whole), separated by a fraction bar.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the fraction formula:

Where:

• \( Part \) — The portion of the whole you're measuring
• \( Whole \) — The complete quantity or total

Explanation: The fraction shows what portion the part is of the whole. For example, if you have 3 apples out of 10, the fraction is 3/10 = 0.3.

3. Importance of Fraction Calculation

Details: Fractions are fundamental in mathematics and everyday life, used in cooking, construction, statistics, and many other fields to represent proportions and ratios.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the part and whole values. The whole must be greater than zero. The calculator will show the decimal representation of the fraction.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the part be larger than the whole?
A: Yes, this would result in a fraction greater than 1, representing more than one whole.

Q2: What if I get a fraction of 0?
A: This means the part is zero - you have none of the whole quantity.

Q3: How can I convert the decimal to a simplified fraction?
A: Multiply the decimal by denominators until you get an integer (e.g., 0.25 × 4 = 1 → 1/4).

Q4: What's the difference between fraction and ratio?
A: A fraction compares part to whole, while a ratio can compare any two quantities.

Q5: Can I use negative numbers?
A: No, this calculator only accepts non-negative numbers for both part and whole.
