1. What is Fraction Sorting?

Fraction sorting arranges fractions from smallest to largest value. This helps in comparing quantities and understanding relative sizes of fractional values.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator converts fractions to their decimal equivalents and sorts them:

\[ \text{Compare } \frac{a}{b} \text{ and } \frac{c}{d} \text{ by comparing } a \times d \text{ and } c \times b \]

Where:

Convert fractions to common denominator
Compare the numerators
Sort based on the comparison results

Explanation: The calculator handles proper fractions, improper fractions, and negative fractions.

3. Importance of Fraction Sorting

Details: Sorting fractions is essential for solving math problems, comparing measurements, and making calculations in recipes, construction, and other practical applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter fractions separated by commas (e.g., "1/2, 3/4, 2/3"). The calculator will sort them from least to greatest.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does the calculator handle mixed numbers?
A: No, please convert mixed numbers to improper fractions first (e.g., 1 1/2 becomes 3/2).

Q2: What about negative fractions?
A: Yes, negative fractions are sorted correctly (e.g., -1/2 comes before 1/2).

Q3: How many fractions can I sort at once?
A: There's no strict limit, but very long lists may be harder to read.

Q4: Does it simplify fractions?
A: No, it maintains the original form you entered.

Q5: Can I sort decimals and fractions together?
A: No, please convert all values to fraction format first.
