What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole, expressed as one integer divided by another, with the top number called the numerator and the bottom number called the denominator.

How do you represent a fraction using numbers?

To represent a fraction using numbers, you write two numbers separated by a line. The number on top is called the numerator, and the number at the bottom is called the denominator. For example, the fraction 3/5 means the number 3 is the numerator, and 5 is the denominator. This fraction represents three parts out of a total of five equal parts.

What is a numerator and a denominator?

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

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by this GCD. This will reduce the fraction to its simplest form where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. This process ensures that the fraction is expressed in its most reduced and compact form.

What is an equivalent fraction?

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction but has different numerator and denominator numbers. The equivalent fraction can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by the same non-zero number.

How do you compare fractions?

To compare fractions, you can first ensure they have a common denominator by finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD) and then compare the numerators. If the numerators are equal, the fractions are equal. Otherwise, you can compare them based on the size of their numerators. If the numerators are not equal, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. Remember to simplify fractions to their simplest form when needed.

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number), indicating that the value of the fraction is less than 1.

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. It is called "improper" because the value represented by the fraction is greater than or equal to 1, as opposed to a proper fraction where the value is less than 1.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

To add fractions with the same denominator, simply add the numerators of the fractions together and keep the denominator the same. For example, to add 1/4 + 3/4, you would add the numerators (1 + 3 = 4) and keep the denominator as 4, resulting in 4/4, which simplifies to 1 whole.

How do you subtract fractions with the same denominator?

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, simply subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, if you have 3/5 – 2/5, subtract the numerators (3-2=1) and keep the denominator 5 to get 1/5 as the answer. Just be sure to simplify the fraction if possible by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator.
