Fraction Calculator - Calculation: 2/3 X 4

Fraction calculator Enter fraction expression: 2/3 x 4 This fraction calculator performs all fraction operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and evaluates expressions with fractions. It also shows detailed step-by-step information.

The result:

2/3 * 4 = 8/3 = 2 2/3 ≅ 2.6666667

The result spelled out in words is eight thirds (or two and two thirds).

How do we solve fractions step by step?

1. Multiple: 2/3 * 4 = 2 · 4/3 · 1 = 8/3 The second operand is an integer. It is equivalent to the fraction 4/1. Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(8, 3) = 1. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.In other words, two thirds multiplied by four equals eight thirds.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - write a forward slash to separate the numerator and 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 whole part and fraction and use a forward slash to input fraction i.e., 1 2/3 . A negative mixed fraction write for example as -5 1/2. A slash is both a sign for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) for division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3. Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal dot . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.

Examples:

• adding fractions: 2/4 + 3/4• subtracting fractions: 2/3 - 1/2• multiplying fractions: 7/8 * 3/9• dividing Fractions: 1/2 : 3/4• reciprocal of a fraction: 1 : 3/4• square of a fraction: 2/3 ^ 2• cube of a fraction: 2/3 ^ 3• exponentiation of a fraction: 1/2 ^ 4• fractional exponents: 16 ^ 1/2• adding fractions and mixed numbers: 8/5 + 6 2/7• dividing integer and fraction: 5 ÷ 1/2• complex fractions: 5/8 : 2 2/3• decimal to fraction: 0.625• Fraction to Decimal: 1/4• Fraction to Percent: 1/8 %• comparing fractions: 1/4 2/3• square root of a fraction: sqrt(1/16)• expression with brackets: 1/3 * (1/2 - 3 3/8)• compound fraction: 3/4 of 5/7• fractions multiple: 2/3 of 3/5• divide to find the quotient: 3/5÷2/3 The calculator follows well-known rules for the order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order are:

• PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
• BEDMAS: Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
• BODMAS: Brackets, Order (or "Of"), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
• GEMDAS: Grouping symbols (brackets: (){}), Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
• MDAS: Multiplication and Division (same precedence), Addition and Subtraction (same precedence). MDAS is a subset of PEMDAS.

Important Notes: 1. Multiplication/Division vs. Addition/Subtraction: Always perform multiplication and division *before* addition and subtraction. 2. Left-to-Right Rule: Operators with the same precedence (e.g., + and -, or * and /) must be evaluated from left to right.
