    Fraction Calculator

    Add, subtract, multiply, or divide imperial fractions. Accepts mixed numbers like 1 1/2, fractions like 3/8, or decimals.

    Calculate

    Enter two values and pick an operation.

    Fraction (nearest 1/64)1 7/8"
    Decimal1.87500"
    Millimeters47.625 mm

    Input examples:

    • 1 1/2 — mixed number (one and a half)
    • 3/8 — fraction
    • 2.75 — decimal
    • -1/4 — negatives allowed (e.g. subtracting kerf)

    Shop math lives in sixteenths and thirty-seconds. Add a 3/4″ leg to a 15/16″ apron setback, halve an odd span for a centered mortise, or divide a case side into equal drawer openings without converting to decimals and back.

    Save your numbers, not just crunch them

    Members save cut lists and estimates to projects, feed them into the cost estimator, and track real spend against the plan.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I divide a board into equal parts with fractions?

    Divide the total width as a fraction — or skip the math: lay a ruler diagonally so a convenient whole number spans the board and mark equal divisions along it.

    What is half of 3 5/8 inches?

    1 13/16″. Convert to an improper fraction (29/8), halve the numerator against a doubled denominator (29/16), then simplify.
