Some fractions may look different, but are really the same, for example: It is usually best to show an answer using the simplest fraction ( 1/2 in this case ). That is called Simplifying, or Reducing the Fraction. We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts we have.
Fractions are numerical expressions used to represent parts of a whole or ratios between quantities. Example: If an apple is divided into 4 equal parts, and one part is taken out, thus the fraction representing the taken out part is 1/4 as one part is taken out of 4 equal parts.
What is a Fraction? Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection of objects. A fraction has two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator. It tells how many equal parts of the whole or collection are taken. The number below the line is called the denominator.
