Helping Notes

Enter feet as whole numbers, inches as mixed numbers (e.g., 9 1/8), simple fractions (e.g., 5/16), or decimals (e.g., 9.125).

Internally, values convert to total inches, the operation is applied, then results convert back to feet and fractional inches in lowest terms.

For multiply or divide, treat the second value as a scale: leave its feet blank and enter a plain number in the inches box.
