Introduction

A fraction is defined as a part or portion of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Types of fractions are categorised mostly on the basis of their numerator and denominator. A fraction is composed of two parts; these are the numerator and the denominator. The number placed on the top of the fractional bar is known as the numerator and the number placed at the bottom is known as the denominator. The numerator shows the number of parts that are being considered, while the denominator indicates the total number of parts in the whole.
