This calculator may look confusing at first and that is why there is a pre-loaded problem for you to look at.
The problem is 6/35 multiplied by 10/21. If you click "MULTIPLY" you will see that this equals 60/735 which reduces to 4/49.
You can also click the "DIVIDE" button and find that 6/35 divided by 10/21 equals 126/350 which reduces to 9/25.
To clear the boxes click the "RESET" button and then you can enter the fractions that you need calculated.
When entering negative fraction(s), put a minus sign ONLY on the numerator(s).
