Examples
Example 1
Solve (3/4) = (1/n)
Using the formula: n = 3/4 ÷ 1 = 3/4
Result: n = 3/4
Example 2
Solve (2/5) = (1/n)
Using the formula: n = 2/5 ÷ 1 = 2/5
Result: n = 2/5
FAQ
What if the result is an improper fraction?
The calculator will display both the exact fraction and its mixed number equivalent if applicable.
Can I solve for n when a and b are mixed numbers?
Yes, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions before entering them into the calculator.
What if the equation has no solution?
The calculator will indicate if the equation has no solution (when a = 0 and b ≠ 0).
