Math Fractions

Fractions that represent the same value or proportion, even if they have different numerators and denominators. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.

To compare fractions, you can find a common denominator or convert them to decimals. You can then determine which fraction is greater, less than, or equal to the other.

It means that the value of the first fraction is larger than the value of the second fraction. For example, 3/4 is greater than 1/2.

It means that the value of the first fraction is smaller than the value of the second fraction. For example, 1/3 is less than 1/2.

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

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

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as 3/4.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as 5/4.

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 1 1/2.

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder over the denominator is the proper fraction.
