Fractions Definition. Fraction
A fraction is a part of a whole and it has two parts. The
number on the top of the line is called numerator which
represents the number of parts we have. The number below the
line is called denominator which indicates the number of parts the
whole is divided into.

Let , if then we say it is an


 improper 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟
 
fraction. This impliesthat an
integer is an improper fraction. If then we  𝑎
called this as proper fraction This implies
that a proper fraction is always less than

called mixed fraction It is a whole number and proper fraction together

 •Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Fractions


Divide the numerator by the denominator.
• Write down the whole number answer.
• Then write down any remainder above the denominator.

When two or more fractions have the same denominators, all
we have to do is to “copy” the denominator and simply add or
subtract the numerators.

When two or more fractions have different denominators,
there are two methods to used:

To find the least common denominator first convert all
integers and mixed numbers (mixed fractions) into improper
fractions. Then find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the
denominators. This number is same as the least common
denominator (LCD). You can then write each term as an equivalent
fraction with the same LCD denominator.

If the division process terminates with no remainder, the quotient is


called a terminating decimal.

If a digit or digits in the quotient repeats, the quotient is called a


repeating decimal.

If the division does not terminate and the digits do not show any
pattern, the quotient is called a non-terminating, non repeating
decimal.
