About
Calculating a fraction of a number is a frequent requirement in cooking, carpentry, and financial planning. However, dealing with mixed numbers or improper fractions can lead to confusion. This tool breaks down the logic of ab × n into clear, manageable steps.
Instead of just providing a raw decimal, our engine visualizes the process: first multiplying the whole number by the numerator, then dividing by the denominator. It handles simplification automatically (GCD algorithm) and generates a proportional pie chart to assist visual learners in grasping the magnitude of the result relative to the whole.
Formulas
The core operation is multiplication of the whole number by the fraction:
This is computationally equivalent to:
