Fractions of Whole Numbers

A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as a ratio of two integers, with a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

Finding a fraction of a whole number involves multiplying the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and then dividing by the denominator.

To calculate 1/2 of a number, divide the number by 2.

The formula is: (Numerator/Denominator) * Whole Number.

12 (3/4 * 16 = 12).

30 (1/3 * 90 = 30).

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

40 (2/5 * 100 = 40).

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value or proportion of a whole.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
