What is a Fraction? A fraction represents a part of a whole. It is written as one number over another, separated by a line. The number on the top is called the numerator , and the number on the bottom is called the denominator . For example, in the fraction 3 4 \frac{3}{4} 4 3 : The numerator (3) tells us how many parts we have. The denominator (4) tells us the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. So, 3 4 \frac{3}{4} 4 3 means we have 3 out of 4 equal parts. Types of Fractions Proper Fractions: The numerator is smaller than the denominator. For example, 2 5 \frac{2}{5} 5 2 . Improper Fractions: The numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. For example, 7 4 \frac{7}{4} 4 7 . Mixed Numbers: A whole number combined with a proper fraction. For example, 2 1 3 2 \frac{1}{3} 2 3 1 . Equivalent Fractions: Different fractions that represent the same value. For example, 1 2 \frac{1}{2} 2 1 and 2 4 \frac{2}{4} 4 2 are equivalent because they b...
