    TOPIC – Fractions

     Definitions: A fractions is a part of a whole. If a whole is divided into equal parts, each part is
    called a fraction. It is made up of two parts – numerator and denominator. Numerator represents
    the number of equal parts taken and denominator represents the number of equal parts in the
    whole.
    Eg: If a cake is divided into 4 equal pieces and out of these, 3 pieces are already eaten, then
    3
    fraction of the cake eaten is .
    4
    Eg: Following picture represents different fractions by dividing a circle in several parts-

     Types of Fractions:
    (1) Proper Fraction – The fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator is
    called proper fraction. All proper fractions are less than 1.
    1 3 12
    Eg: , , etc, are all proper fractions.
    4 17 800
    (2) Improper Fraction - The fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator
    is called improper fraction. All improper fractions are greater than or equal to 1.
    5 23 57
    Eg: , , etc. are all improper fractions.
    5 15 6
    (3) Mixed Fraction – A mixed fraction has two parts, a whole number part (except 0) and a
    part with proper fraction.
    3 7 5
    Eg: 1 , 93 , 7 etc. are all mixed fractions.
    5 9 40
    Note: A mixed fraction can be written as an improper fraction and an improper fraction can be
    written as a mixed fraction.
    (4) Unit Fraction - A fraction whose numerator is 1 and denominator is more than 1 is called
    a unit fraction.
    1 1 1
    Eg: , , etc. are all unit fractions.
    8 52 500
    (5) Equivalent Fractions – Fractions that represent the same portion of the whole are called
    equivalent fractions.
    1 2 5 40 1 2 5 40
    Eg: , , , are equivalent fractions and we write it as    .
    3 6 15 120 3 6 15 120
    (6) Like Fractions – Fractions that have same denominator are called like fractions.
    1 9 50 95
    Eg: , , , etc. are all like fractions.
    13 13 13 13
    (7) Unlike Fractions - Fractions whose denominators are different are called unlike fractions.
    1 6 56
    Eg: , , etc. are all unlike fractions.
    2 20 55
     Simplest form of a fraction – A fraction is in its simplest form when its numerator and
    denominator have no common factors other than 1.
    2 3 9 8
    Eg: , , etc. are all fractions in their lowest/simplest form. But is not in its simplest
    5 20 10 40
    form as 8 is a common factor of 8 and 40 other than 1.
