Qalculate also does many operations with fractions. To input 1/2 into something you can middle click on the :guilabel:`2` button. Similarly to input 1/3 middle click on :guilabel:`3` and for 1/4 middle click on :guilabel:`4` and so on. Qalculate will also simplify fractions if you type them in so if you type in 4/16 Qalculate! will reduce it to 1/4 and then also provide a decimal answer with a :guilabel:`=` sign for an exact value or an :guilabel:`≈` for an approximate solution if not exact. Qalculate! will also let you add, subtract, multiply, divide, or more advanced fractions with fractions and still show the result as fractions.
