About
Scenarios in cooking and construction often require splitting a fractional quantity into whole parts. For instance, halving a 3/4 cup recipe or dividing a 5/8 inch board into three sections. This calculator bypasses general division steps to focus specifically on this use case. It effectively multiplies the denominator by the integer. This method ensures the numerator remains untouched unless simplification is possible. Accurate material yields and ingredient ratios depend on this simple calculation.
