Simplifying Fractions Calculator With Steps (Support Mixed Fractions)

The Simplifying Fraction Calculator is a free online tool for simplifying a given fraction in milliseconds. The given fraction can be a proper fraction, an improper fraction or a mixed fraction. If the given fraction is an improper fraction, the final simplified form has two cases: improper fraction and mixed fraction. The same goes for the mixed fraction.

There are several steps to simplify the fraction:

Note that the new fraction after simplification is equivalent to the original fraction.

For example, Convert 48 to its simplest form.

1. Find out the greatest common divisor of 4 and 8, which is 4.
2. Get the new numerator, 4 ÷ 4 = 1.
3. Get the new denominator, 8 ÷ 4 = 2.
4. So, the simplified form of 48 is 12.

For improper fractions, the simplification steps are the same. The final result can be converted into the simplest mixed fraction according to actual needs.

For example, Convert 208 to its simplest form.

The greatest common divisor of 20 and 8 is 4.

208 = 20 ÷ 48 ÷ 4 = 52 = 212

If it is a mixed fraction, you need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction first. Then follow the steps above.

For example, Convert 168 to its simplest form.

First, convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.

168 = 148

Then follow the 4 steps above to simplify.

148 = 14 ÷ 28 ÷ 2 = 74 = 134

In a word, manual simplification is possible, but it is more troublesome, especially when the numerator and denominator are large. So, we have developed this online free simplifying fraction calculator that not only calculates simplified results in milliseconds, but also display the specific calculation steps. Let’s look at how the simplified fraction calculator is used.

The Simplifying Fraction Calculator is easy to use and requires only 2 steps:
