What is a fraction?

A fraction is a mathematical expression representing a part of a whole or any number between integers. It consists of a numerator (the top number) representing the part being considered and a denominator (the bottom number) representing the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. Fractions are typically written in the form of numerator/denominator, such as 1/2 or 3/4.

How do you read and write fractions?

To read a fraction, say the number on top (numerator) followed by the number on the bottom (denominator) spoken as a fraction. For example, "3/4" is read as "three-fourths." To write a fraction, simply place the numerator above the denominator with a line in between them. Make sure the numerator is above the line and the denominator is below the line, like this: 5/8.

What is the numerator and denominator in a fraction?

The numerator is the top number in a fraction that represents the part of a whole, while the denominator is the bottom number that represents the total number of parts the whole is divided into.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, then divide both the numerator and denominator by this GCD. This process reduces the fraction to its simplest form. It's important to ensure that the fraction is fully simplified to have the smallest possible numerator and denominator without any common factors other than 1.

How do you find a common denominator for two or more fractions?

To find a common denominator for two or more fractions, you need to identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions. This can be done by listing the multiples of each denominator and finding the smallest number that is common to all denominators. Once you have the LCM, you can then rewrite each fraction with the common denominator, which allows for easier comparison and addition or subtraction of the fractions.

How do you add or subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, you simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you have 1/4 + 2/4, you add the numerators 1 + 2 to get 3, and keep the denominator 4 the same, resulting in 3/4. Similarly, for subtraction like 5/6 - 2/6, you subtract the numerators 5 - 2 to get 3, and keep the denominator 6 the same, resulting in 3/6 which can be simplified to 1/2.

How do you add or subtract fractions with different denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. To do this, determine the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, rewrite each fraction with the common denominator and then perform the addition or subtraction operation on the numerators. Finally, simplify the result if possible by reducing the fraction to its simplest form.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. For example, to multiply 1/2 by 3/4, you would get (1*3)/(2*4) = 3/8. Remember to simplify the fraction if possible by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you simply multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For instance, to divide 2/3 by 1/4, you would multiply 2/3 by 4/1 (or 4), which equals 8/3 or 2 2/3.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal or a percentage?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator. For example, if you have the fraction 3/4, you would divide 3 by 4 to get 0.75. To convert a fraction to a percentage, first convert it to a decimal and then multiply by 100. Using the same example of 3/4, once you have 0.75 as the decimal, you multiply by 100 to get 75%, which is the percentage equivalent of the fraction 3/4.
