Frequently Asked Questions
What is a proper fraction?
A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number). For example, 3/4, 1/2, and 5/8 are all proper fractions. The value is always less than 1.
What is an improper fraction?
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Examples include 7/4, 5/3, and 9/2. These fractions have values equal to or greater than 1.
Why would I allow denominator of 1?
A denominator of 1 means the fraction is actually a whole number (e.g., 5/1 = 5). This can be useful for teaching fraction concepts and showing the relationship between fractions and whole numbers.
How does the simplify option work?
When enabled, fractions are reduced to their lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example, 4/8 simplifies to 1/2, and 6/9 simplifies to 2/3.
What's the difference between decimal equivalent and the original fraction?
The decimal equivalent shows the fraction as a decimal number. For example, 3/4 = 0.75, and 1/3 = 0.3333. This helps understand the numeric value of the fraction.
Can I generate negative fractions?
Not in the current MVP version. Negative fraction support is planned for a future update.
How many fractions can I generate at once?
You can generate between 1 and 100 fractions in a single click. For most educational purposes, 5-20 fractions is recommended.
What if I can't generate proper fractions with my settings?
For proper fractions, the maximum numerator must be less than the minimum denominator. If your settings don't allow this (e.g., numerator max is 15 and denominator min is 10), you'll see an error message. Adjust your ranges accordingly.
Are the fractions truly random?
Yes! We use cryptographically secure random number generation (crypto.getRandomValues) to ensure true randomness and unpredictability.
Can I use this for commercial purposes?
Yes, our tool is completely free for personal, educational, and commercial use. No attribution required, though we appreciate it!
Do you store my generated fractions?
No. All fraction generation happens locally in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your generated data.
Can I save my favorite settings?
Currently, settings reset when you refresh the page. We're considering adding a 'Save Preferences' feature in future updates based on user feedback.
