Enter an equation in the box, then click “SIMPLIFY”. The calculator will simplify the equation step-by-step, and display the result. If you wish to solve the equation, use the Equation Solving Calculator. VariablesAny lowercase letter may be used as a variable. ExponentsExponents are supported on variables using the ^ (caret) symbol. For example, to express x2, enter x^2. Note: exponents must be positive integers, no negatives, decimals, or variables. Exponents may not be placed on numbers, brackets, or parentheses. Parentheses and BracketsParentheses ( ) and brackets [ ] may be used to group terms as in a standard equation or expression. Multiplication, Addition, and SubtractionFor addition and subtraction, use the standard + and – symbols respectively. For multiplication, use the * symbol. A * symbol is not necessiary when multiplying a number by a variable. For instance: 2 * x can also be entered as 2x. Similarly, 2 * (x + 5) can also be entered as 2(x + 5); 2x * (5) can be entered as 2x(5). The * is also optional when multiplying with parentheses, example: (x + 1)(x – 1). Order of OperationsThe calculator follows the standard order of operations taught by most algebra books – Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction. The only exception is that division is not supported; attempts to use the / symbol will result in an error. Division, Square Root, Radicals, FractionsThe above features are not supported.
Spelled result in words is thirty-five sixths (or five and five sixths).
How do we solve fractions step by step?
Fractions - use a forward slash to divide the numerator by 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 integer and fraction and use a forward slash to input fractions i.e., 1 2/3 . An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2. Because slash is both sign for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) as the operator of division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3. Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.
