Bạn đang xem: 1+1=2

This fraction calculator performs basic and advanced fraction operations, expressions with fractions combined with integers, decimals, and mixed numbers. It also shows detailed step-by-step information about the fraction calculation procedure. The calculator helps in finding value from multiple fractions operations. Solve problems with two, three, or more fractions and numbers in one expression.

The result:

1 + 1/2 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 = 1.5

Spelled result in words is three halfs (or one and one half).

How bởi we solve fractions step by step?

  1. Add: 1 + 1/2 = 1/1 + 1/2 = 1 · 2/1 · 2 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 3/2
    It is suitable to tướng adjust both fractions to tướng a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(1, 2) = 2. It is enough to tướng find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 1 × 2 = 2. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
    In other words - one plus one half is three halfs.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - use a forward slash to tướng divide the numerator by the denominator, i.e., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you use mixed numbers, leave a space between the whole and fraction parts.

Mixed numerals (mixed numbers or fractions) keep one space between the integer and
fraction and use a forward slash to tướng input fractions i.e., 1 2/3 . An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2.
Because slash is both sign for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) as the operator of division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3.
Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to tướng fractions - i.e. 1.45.

The calculator follows well-known rules for the order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order of operations are:
PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
BEDMAS - Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction
BODMAS - Brackets, Of or Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
GEMDAS - Grouping Symbols - brackets (){}, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
MDAS - Multiplication and Division have the same precedence over Addition and Subtraction. The MDAS rule is the order of operations part of the PEMDAS rule.
Be careful; always bởi multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. Some operators (+ and -) and (* and /) have the same priority and must be evaluated from left to tướng right.
