Fractions Calculator provides easy to follow detailed solution and visual aid. With this app you will get an easy to use keyboard that gives the option to enter a whole number and a fraction numerator and denominator without the need to move the cursor.

When pressing the equal button, you will see 3 things:
1) The answer to the operation
2) Visual representation of the three fractions(1st operand, 2nd operand, and answer)
3) Steps of the solution

Each step you can expand and see the logic behind it and how we got to the numbers of the next step.

Here is a general view of the steps:
1) Mixed numbers to improper fractions conversion
2) Common denominators: making both denominators the same for adding and subtraction.
3) Performing the actual operation
4) Simplifying the answer by finding the greatest common divisor
5) Finally converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number
