fraction


A fraction is a rational number expressed in the form nd or n/d, where n is designated the numerator and d the denominator. The slash between them is known as a solidus when the fraction is expressed as n/d.

The fraction n/d has value n÷d. For instance, 3/2=3÷2=1.5.

If n and d are positive, and n/d<1, then n/d is known as a proper fraction. Otherwise, it is an improper fraction. If n and d are relatively prime, then n/d is said to be in lowest terms. Each rational number can be expressed uniquely as a fraction in lowest terms. To get a fraction in lowest terms, simply divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisorMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath:

6084=60÷1284÷12=57.

The rules for manipulating fractions are

ab  =kakb
ab+cd  =ad+bcbd
ab-cd  =ad-bcbd
ab×cd  =acbd
ab÷cd  =adbc.
