how to solve complex fractions

Today we will discuss how to solve complex fractions. To solve complex fractions you can follow the following steps: always keep it in mind that in a complex fractions the numerator and denominator both have or contain a fraction.


1. find a common denominator to get rid of the fraction in the numerator or denominator


2. The numerator and denominator needs to be simplified by adding or subtracting. After which you should have a fraction in the numerator or the denominator or sometimes both.

3. When fractions are to be divided, you need to multiply the numerator by the denominators reciprocal. After which you simplify the problem. 

You can follow these simple steps and solve complex fractions. You can also get help with other topics on fractions like fractions to mixed numbers, Fractions to decimals, how to divide fractions with variables and all topics that come under fractions. Students can get all the support they need with fractions online from the tutors who give quality tutoring. We shall throw more light on this in future.  





  • Step 2
    The first step is to get rid of the fraction in the numerator or denominator by finding a common denominator for the numerator or the denominator

  • Step 3
    Simplify the numerator or denominator by adding or subtracting. Now you should have a fraction in the numerator, denominator, or both.

  • Step 4
    Remember that when you divide by fractions, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Then simplify and solve the problem
