Math fractions

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

The numerator is the top number in a fraction that indicates how many parts are being considered.

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction that indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

A fraction less than 1 means that the numerator is smaller than the denominator, indicating that it represents a part of the whole.

A fraction equal to 1 means that the numerator is equal to the denominator, indicating that the whole is completely represented.

A fraction greater than 1 means that the numerator is larger than the denominator, indicating that it represents more than one whole.

To compare two fractions, you can find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value, such as 1/2 and 2/4.

To add fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
