Written by:

Need to sort a pile of fractions? This ordering fractions calculator arranges fractions, decimals, and percentages from least to greatest or greatest to least.

Ordering Fractions Calculator

Using the ordering fractions calculator

Enter your fractions in the format numerator/denominator (like 3/4 or 7/8). You can also enter decimals (0.5), whole numbers (2), or percentages (75%).

Select Ascending (least to greatest) or Descending (greatest to least), then hit Calculate Order.

How it works

To compare fractions, convert them to a common denominator (or decimals). For example, comparing 3/4 and 5/8:

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8} = 0.75
\frac{5}{8} = 0.625

Since 0.625 < 0.75, we have 5/8 < 3/4.
