What is a fraction?

A fraction is a representation of a part of a whole, where it consists of a numerator (the top number) that represents the part being considered and a denominator (the bottom number) that represents the total number of equal parts that make up the whole. Fractions are used to express numbers that are not whole, enabling us to compare and work with different quantities in a proportional way.

How do you read and write fractions?

To read a fraction, the top number (numerator) tells you how many parts you have, while the bottom number (denominator) tells you how many parts the whole is divided into. For example, 3/4 is read as "three-fourths." To write a fraction, you simply write the numerator above a horizontal line and the denominator below the line. To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same, and for multiplying or dividing fractions, you multiply or divide the numerators and denominators separately.

What is a numerator?

A numerator is the top part of a fraction that represents the number of equal parts being considered. It is the number that is being divided into parts in a fraction, while the denominator, the bottom part of the fraction, represents the total number of parts into which the whole is divided.

What is a denominator?

A denominator is the bottom number in a fraction that represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided.

How do you find the equivalent fraction of a given fraction?

To find the equivalent fraction of a given fraction, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number. This will give you a new fraction that is equal in value to the original fraction. Keep in mind that the new fraction may appear differently, but it represents the same quantity.

How do you simplify a fraction to its lowest terms?

To simplify a fraction to its lowest terms, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). This involves finding the highest number that both the numerator and denominator can be evenly divided by. Once you have the GCD, divide both the numerator and denominator by this number to simplify the fraction and get it to its lowest terms. Keep repeating this process until the numerator and denominator share no common factors, thereby giving you the simplified form of the fraction.

How do you add and subtract fractions with like denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with like denominators, simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominators the same. For example, if you have 1/4 + 3/4, you add the numerators (1 + 3 = 4) and keep the denominator the same (4), giving you 4/4 which simplifies to 1. Similarly, for subtraction like 5/8 - 2/8, subtract the numerators (5 - 2 = 3) while keeping the denominator as 8, resulting in 3/8.

How do you add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. To do this, identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Then, rewrite both fractions using the LCM as the new denominator. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same to get the final result. Simplify the fraction if necessary by reducing the numerator and denominator to their simplest form.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and then multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. The resulting fraction should be simplified by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator, if possible.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means you keep the first fraction the same and flip the second fraction upside down before multiplying. Then, you simplify the resulting fraction if needed by finding the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator.
