Fraction Definition
A fraction is a way to represent a part of a whole or a ratio between two numbers. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number), separated by a line.
Key points:
- Fractions are used to represent parts of a whole or quantities that are not whole numbers.
- The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.
- Fractions can be improper, proper, or mixed, depending on the relationship between the numerator and denominator.
- Improper fractions have a numerator greater or equal to the denominator, proper fractions have a numerator less than the denominator, and mixed fractions combine a whole number with a proper fraction.
