TYPES OF FRACTIONS
1. Proper Fractions- A proper fraction is
a fraction in which the numerator is
smaller than denominator.
2/7, 5/8 12/17
2. Unit fractions- A proper fraction
which has one as numerator is called
a unit fraction.
½ 1/3 1/8 1/57
3. Improper fractions- An improper
fraction is a fraction in which the
numerator is greater than the
denominator.
7/2 17/12 15/8
4.Mixed fractions- A fraction having a
whole number with a fractional
number is called mixed fraction.

EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS
The fractions having the same value and
represented in different ways are called
equivalent fractions.
Write four equivalent fractions of-
1. 2/3=4/6=6/9=8/12=10/15
2. 4/5=8/10= 12/15=16/20=20/25
Find the equivalent fraction of
27/36 by finding the value of *
 27 = 3 = * = 54
36 * 24 *
 27 = 3 = 18 = 54
36 4 24 72
LOWEST TERM
A Fraction is said to be in its lowest
term if the only common factor
between the numerator and the
denominator of the fraction is 1.
It is also known as standard or
simplest form.
Reduce each of the following
fractions to their lowest term.
 48/60
HCF of 48 and 60= 12
48 ÷ 12= 4
60 ÷12 = 5
 126/90
HCF of 126 and 90=18
126 ÷ 18 = 7
90 ÷ 18 = 5
 500 grams as fraction of a kilogram.
1 KG= 1000g
500
1000
HCF of 500 and 1000 is 500.
500 ÷ 500= 1
1000 ÷ 500= 2
Like fractions
Two or more fractions with the
same denominators are called like
fractions.
7/20, 13/20, 11/20
Unlike fractions
Two or more fractions with different
denominators are called unlike
fractions.
7/45, 13/20, 11/23
HOW TO CONVERT UNLIKE
INTO LIKE FRACTIONS.
1. Steps 1- Find the LCM of the
denominators.
2. Step 2- Then convert the given
fractions with the LCM as
denominator.
Conversion of unlike fractions
into like fractions.
a) 3/8, 5/6 and 7/12
LCM of 8,6 and 12= 24
3 x3= 9
8 x3= 24
5/6= 20/24
7/12= 14/24
9/24, 20/24, 14/24
2. 4/6,5/8,2/4
 LCM OF 6,8 and 4= 24
4/6= 16/24
5/8= 15 /24
2/4= 12/24
The like fractions are 16/24, 15/24 and
12/24.
Addition and Subtraction of
unlike fractions
1.2 1/9+ 1 1/3
2 1/9=19/9
11/3= 4/3
LCM of 9 and 3 is 9
19/9=19/9
4/3 x 3/3=12/9
19/9+12/9=31/9
= 3 4/9
