How to Use the Input
You can input both whole numbers and fractions in this calculator. Here are some examples of how to do it:
- Whole Numbers: For instance, enter "4" or "10" if you want to work with whole numbers.
- Fractions: Enter "2/3" or "5/8" if you want to work with fractions. Always use the format "a/b".
The calculator will then calculate the result and simplify the fraction if possible. If the result is a whole number, it will be displayed with a denominator of "1" for complete clarity.
