Understanding Your Results

Along with the Simplified Fraction, this tool provides two alternative formats for your convenience:

• Mixed Number: If your answer is an "improper fraction" (the top number is larger than the bottom number), we convert it into a whole number paired with a fraction (e.g., 5/4 becomes 1 1/4).
• Decimal Value: We automatically convert the fraction into a precise decimal format (e.g., 1/4 becomes 0.25).
