A "regular" can opener is a machine that combines a wedge (to cut through the top of the can) with a wheel and axle (which moves the can opener's cuttng wheel -- the wedge -- around the top of the can). The input force is provided by the operator, either by hand or via electric power. The output force is the separation of the metal of the top and the movement of the opener around the can. We also find that the can and the openers parts get a bit warmer with its use, and there are losses in the system due to friction.
Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.
Input and output are shown on a force diagram by the human being the input force and the load force being the output force. When you divide output force by input force, you get the mechanical advantage of a lever.
Output force CAN'T be absolutely greater than input force because energy is lost due to friction. However, the "mechanical advantage" of a simple machine can be greater than one because the machine applies the force over a different distance.
The input force is how much force you use to pull on it. The output is what is lifted.

yes, the fulcrum is in between the input and output force.

An output force is the force that is exerted from the input force to create motion of the resisting object. the input force can be less or more then the output force

The difference between and input force and an output force is that an output force is force exerted by a machine, and an input force is force exerted on a machine.
Mechanical Advantage which is the output force divided by the input force.
