Just type your numerator in place of a, and your denominator in place of b. Those can be expressions as well.

You can make fractions, exponents, subscripts, square roots and other roots, sums (sigma sign), products (pi sign), integrals and limits. A list of Greek characters is included. The symbol list is fairly basic and includes some basic operation and relation symbols, set theory symbols, and a few arrows.

You can also change the font and the font size and the background color.
