FRACTIONS

Definition:
A fraction is part of a whole.

Numerator and denominator

The numerator is a digit on top or above the bar.

The denominator is a digit below or under the bar.

e.g. 2 → Numerator
3 → Denominator

The numerator tells us the number of parts we have taken while the
denominator tells us the number of parts of equal size the object is divided
int.

Reducing fractions to their lowest terms.

Equivalent fractions can also be made by dividing the numerator by the

same number (G.C.F.).

N.B. When there is no whole number which can be divided

exactly into the numerator and denominator then the
fraction is in its lowest terms.
