# About This Calculator

A Complex Fraction (also called a composite fraction) is a fraction where the numerator, the denominator, or both contain one or more fractions.

To simplify a complex fraction, you treat the main fraction bar as a division symbol. Using the "Keep, Change, Flip" method, you keep the numerator fraction, change division to multiplication, and flip (invert) the denominator fraction.

How To Use

  1. Enter the numerator and denominator for the **Top Fraction**.
  2. Enter the numerator and denominator for the **Bottom Fraction**.
  3. Click **Simplify Fraction**.
  4. The result will be shown as a simplified proper/improper fraction and its decimal equivalent.
