Fraction of a Whole Number

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in $$\frac{3}{4}$$ , 3 is the part and 4 is the whole.

The numerator is the top number of a fraction and represents how many parts we have.

The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction and represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

To find a fraction of a whole number, multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide by the denominator. For example, to find $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of 8: (3 * 8) / 4 = 6.

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator by the whole number and keep the denominator the same. For example, $$\frac{2}{5}$$ x 10 = $$\frac{2 \times 10}{5}$$ = $$\frac{20}{5}$$ = 4.
