Visual Fraction & Mixed Number Calculator

Solve complex fraction problems with our powerful and intuitive calculator. This tool is designed to handle proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers, all while respecting the proper order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). More than just a number-cruncher, it provides a unique visual breakdown of your entire calculation using interactive pie charts, helping you understand the "why" behind the answer.

How It Works

Our calculator uses a sophisticated engine to parse and solve your expressions, providing a multi-faceted result.

  1. Enter Your Expression: Use the on-screen keypad or your physical keyboard to type in a full mathematical expression involving fractions or mixed numbers.
  2. Press Equals: Hit the "=" button to have the calculator process your input.
  3. Analyze the Results: The tool instantly displays the answer in three distinct formats: as a simplified mixed number, as a decimal, and as a complete visual representation of the problem and solution.

Key Features

  • Full Fraction & Mixed Number Support: Perform calculations with whole numbers, proper fractions (e.g., 1/2), and mixed numbers (e.g., 3 ½).
  • Correct Order of Operations (PEMDAS): The calculator uses a Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) engine to correctly solve complex expressions with multiple operators and parentheses.
  • Triple-Format Results: Every answer is displayed in three useful ways:
    • Simplified Fraction: The result is automatically reduced to its simplest form (e.g., 4/8 becomes 1/2).
    • Decimal Equivalent: The decimal value of the final fraction is provided for quick reference.
    • Visual Breakdown: A unique visualization shows your entire equation using pie charts for each fraction, helping to illustrate the calculation process.
  • Interactive Visualizations: Each fractional component of your expression is rendered as a pie chart, making abstract concepts easy to understand.
  • Dual Input Methods: Use the convenient on-screen keypad for touch devices or take advantage of full keyboard support for faster entry on a desktop.
  • Clear Expression History: The top display shows your full, formatted expression as you type it.
  • Intelligent Error Handling: The calculator provides clear error messages for invalid expressions, such as mismatched parentheses or division by zero.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Step 1: Enter Your Expression
    Use the buttons or your keyboard. For a mixed number like "2 ¾", type `2`, then the `_` button, then `3`, then the `⁄` button, then `4`.
  2. Step 2: Use Parentheses for Complex Logic
    Group operations as needed, for example: `( 1/2 + 1/3 ) × 2`.
  3. Step 3: Calculate and Interpret
    Press "=" and review the three-part result. The simplified fraction is the primary answer, the decimal is for context, and the visualization is for understanding.
  4. Step 4: Correct or Clear
    Use the `BKSP` key to fix typos or `AC` to clear the entire expression and start over.
