4/7 × 1 3/4 =?

Clear Calculate

Answer:

=1

Solution by Formulas

First:
Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.
Then your initial equation becomes:

4 7
×
7 4
Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,

4×7
=
7×4
28
=
28
Simplifying 28/28, the answer is

=1

Calculator Use

Do math calculations with mixed numbers (mixed fractions) performing operations on fractions, whole
numbers, integers, mixed numbers, mixed fractions and improper fractions. The Mixed Numbers
Calculator can add, subtract, multiply and divide mixed numbers and fractions.

Mixed Numbers Calculator (also referred to as Mixed Fractions):

This online calculator handles simple operations on whole numbers, integers, mixed numbers, fractions
and improper fractions by adding, subtracting, dividing or multiplying. The answer is provided in a
reduced fraction and a mixed number if it exists.

Enter mixed numbers, whole numbers or fractions in the following formats:

Mixed numbers: Enter as 1 1/2 which is one and one half or 25 3/32 which is twenty five and three
thirty seconds. Keep exactly one space between the whole number and fraction and use a
forward slash to input fractions. You can enter up to 3 digits in length for each whole number,
numerator or denominator (123 456/789).
Whole numbers: Up to 3 digits in length.
Fractions: Enter as 3/4 which is three fourths or 3/100 which is three one hundredths. You can
enter up to 3 digits in length for each the numerators and denominators (e.g., 456/789).

Adding Mixed Numbers using the Adding Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

2. Use the algebraic formula for addition of fractions:
a/b + c/d = (ad + bc) / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Adding Fractions Formula

𝑎 𝑐 (𝑎 × 𝑑) + (𝑏 × 𝑐)
+ =
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏×𝑑
Example

Add 1 2/6 and 2 1/4

2 1 8 9
1 +2 = +
6 4 6 4
(8 × 4) + (9 × 6)
=
6×4
32 + 54 86 43
= = =
24 24 12
7
=3
12
1 2/6 + 2 1/4 = 8/6 + 9/4 = (8*4 + 9*6) / 6*4 = 86 / 24

So we get 86/24 and simplify to 3 7/12

Subtracting Mixed Numbers using the Subtracting Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

2. Use the algebraic formula for subtraction of fractions: a/b - c/d = (ad - bc) / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Subtracting Fractions Formula

𝑎 𝑐 (𝑎 × 𝑑) − (𝑏 × 𝑐)
− =
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏×𝑑
Example

Subtract 2 1/4 from 1 2/6

1 2/6 - 2 1/4 = 8/6 - 9/4 = (8*4 - 9*6) / 6*4 = -22 / 24

Reduce the fraction to get -11/12

Multiplying Mixed Numbers using the Multiplying Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

2. Use the algebraic formula for multiplying of fractions: a/b * c/d = ac / bd
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Multiplying Fractions Formula

𝑎 𝑐 𝑎×𝑐
× =
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏×𝑑
Example

multiply 1 2/6 by 2 1/4

1 2/6 * 2 1/4 = 8/6 * 9/4 = 8*9 / 6*4 = 72 / 24

Reduce the fraction to get 3/1 and simplify to 3

Dividing Mixed Numbers using the Dividing Fractions Formula

1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

2. Use the algebraic formula for division of fractions: a/b ÷ c/d = ad / bc
3. Reduce fractions and simplify if possible

Dividing Fractions Formula

𝑎 𝑐 𝑎×𝑑
÷ =
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏×𝑐
Example

divide 1 2/6 by 2 1/4

1 2/6 ÷ 2 1/4 = 8/6 ÷ 9/4 = 8*4 / 9*6 = 32 / 54

Reduce the fraction to get 16/27
