Tips: Enter both numerator and denominator values. The denominator cannot be zero as division by zero is undefined. All values must be valid numbers.
Q1: What happens if I enter zero as denominator?
A: The calculator will display an error message because division by zero is mathematically undefined.
Q2: Can I use decimal numbers?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts both integer and decimal values for both numerator and denominator.
Q3: How many decimal places does the result show?
A: The result is rounded to 4 decimal places for clarity and precision.
Q4: Can I use negative numbers?
