What is Meant by Fraction?

In maths, a fraction represents a part of the whole number. It consists of a numerator and denominator where numerator represents the number of equal parts and denominator represents the total amount that makes up a whole.
For example, 5/6 is a fraction where 5 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator. Fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided like all other numbers.
By using the algebraic formula for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions, this calculator will add, subtract, multiply or divide fractions and gets you an answer in a reduced fraction form.
Addition:
(a/b) + (c/d) =(ad+bc)/bd
Subtraction:
(a/b) – (c/d) =(ad-bc)/bd
Multiplication:
(a/b) . (c/d) = ac/bd
Division
(a/b) / (c/d) = ad/bc

What is 8 5/6 as a fraction

This 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:

5/6 * 8 = 20/3 = 6 2/3 ≅ 6.6666667

Spelled result in words is twenty thirds (or six and two thirds).

How do we solve fractions step by step?

  1. Multiple: 5/6 * 8 = 5 · 8/6 · 1 = 40/6 = 20 · 2/3 · 2 = 20/3
    Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(40, 6) = 2. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 20/3.
    In other words - five sixths multiplied by eight is twenty thirds.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - use a forward slash to 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 input fractions i.e., 1 2/3 . An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2.
Because slash is both signs 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 fractions - i.e. 1.45.

Math Symbols

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 do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. Some operators (+ and -) and (* and /) has the same priority and then must evaluate from left to right.
