What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole, expressed as one number (the numerator) divided by another number (the denominator), typically written in the form a/b where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. Fractions are used to represent portions, ratios, or divisions of a whole object or quantity.

How do you find the numerator of a fraction?

To find the numerator of a fraction, you simply look at the number on top of the fraction line, which represents the part of the whole that you are considering. This number tells you how many parts of the whole are being considered in the fraction, and it is the numerator.

What is the denominator of a fraction?

The denominator of a fraction is the bottom number in the fraction that represents the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. It indicates the number of parts that make up the whole or the total number of equal parts in the whole.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator and then divide both the numerator and the denominator by that GCD. This results in a fraction that is in its simplest form with no common factors between the numerator and the denominator.

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is equal to or greater than the denominator (bottom number), such as 5/2 or 11/4.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction. It is typically written as a whole number followed by a fraction, such as 3 1/2. Mixed numbers are used to represent values that are in between integers and fractions, providing a way to express quantities in a concise and understandable format.

How do you convert a mixed number to an improper fraction?

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, add the result to the numerator, then place it over the original denominator. For example, to convert the mixed number 2 1/4 to an improper fraction, you would perform the calculation (2 x 4) + 1 = 9, and then write it as the fraction 9/4.

What is a reciprocal of a fraction?

The reciprocal of a fraction is the fraction that results from flipping the numerator and denominator of the original fraction. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. Reciprocals have the property that when multiplied together, they equal 1.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. For example, if you are adding 2/5 and 3/5, you would add the numerators (2 + 3 = 5) and keep the denominator the same (5), resulting in 5/5.

How do you subtract fractions with different denominators?

To 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, then rewrite each fraction with the common denominator. Once the fractions have the same denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator to get the result. Simplify the resulting fraction if needed.
