Fractions

A number representing a part of a whole, written as a numerator over a denominator.

A fraction consists of a numerator (top number, the parts you have) and a denominator (bottom number, total equal parts).

Operations

  • Adding/Subtracting: Find a common denominator first. 1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
  • Multiplying: Multiply numerators and denominators. 2/3 × 3/5 = 6/15 = 2/5
  • Dividing: Flip the second fraction and multiply. 3/4 ÷ 2/5 = 3/4 × 5/2 = 15/8

Converting

  • Fraction → Decimal: Divide numerator by denominator (3/8 = 0.375)
  • Fraction → Percentage: Convert to decimal, multiply by 100 (3/8 = 37.5%)
