Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator reduce fractions before or after ordering them? It compares the fractions by their actual value (via decimal or cross-multiplication) regardless of whether they're in reduced form, so an unreduced fraction like 4/8 is still correctly placed as equal in value to 1/2.
What happens if two fractions in the list are exactly equal in value? They're placed adjacent to each other in the sorted order since neither is strictly larger, though their original written form (e.g. 1/2 vs 2/4) is preserved rather than being merged into one entry.
