Fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole. It is written as one number (the numerator) divided by another number (the denominator), with a horizontal line between them. Fractions can represent values that are less than one, such as 1/2 or 3/4.

A fraction is a number that represents part of a whole. It consists of two numbers: the numerator and the denominator. The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, and the denominator represents the total number of parts in the whole. Fractions can be used to represent parts of a pizza, a pie, a length, a time period, or any other whole quantity.

Example:

- The fraction 1/2 represents half of a whole.
- The fraction 3/4 represents three out of four parts of a whole.

Fractions can be expressed in various forms:

- Proper fraction: When the numerator is less than the denominator, e.g., 1/2, 3/4
- Improper fraction: When the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, e.g., 5/3, 7/4
- Mixed number: A combination of a whole number and a fraction, e.g., 1 1/2, 2 3/4

Fractions can be manipulated using basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations follow specific rules to ensure the integrity of the fractional representation of the parts of a whole.
