Fractions represent parts of a whole. A fraction has two numbers separated by a line, with the number on top called the numerator and the bottom number called the denominator. Fractions can be equivalent if their lowest terms are the same, like if they represent the same part of the whole. Fractions are either proper if the numerator is less than the denominator, or improper if the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. Mixed numbers contain both an integer and an improper fraction.

4. MEANING OF A FRACTION When an object is divided into equal parts, each part is called a fraction of the object. This circle is divided into 4 equal parts. One of the 4 equal parts which is separated is written as ¼ and named as one-fourth.

5. Fraction has 2 numbers. Number above the line is called NUMERATOR and the number below the line is called DENOMINTOR. Ex. In fraction 1/8 1 is numerator and 8 is denominator.
