The Best Fraction Calculators in 2025 - Underwood Distributing Co.

The Best Fraction Calculators Available in 2025

Fraction calculators are designed to handle basic operations with fractions, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They also simplify fractions, convert between fractions and mixed numbers, and switch between fractions and decimals. These calculators work for all grade levels, specifically with any courses that involve working with fractions, such as pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry.

For this article, we'll focus exclusively on fraction calculators that display fractions in their traditional format—with a horizontal line (known as a fraction bar or vinculum) separating the numerator and denominator. This ensures a clear, intuitive visual for young learners.

Showing a fraction with a slash, and a fraction with a fraction bar (stacked)

While models like the TI-30XA and TI-30XIIS can perform fraction calculations, they don't show fractions in the expected stacked format, which can confuse beginners.

With so many options on the market, this guide highlights the top fraction calculators from leading brands like Texas Instruments, Sharp, and Casio—detailing their key features and fraction-handling capabilities to help educators and schools make informed choices.
