comparison of fraction like denominator and unlike numerator (define & example)

Definition of Fraction
Fractions are defined as the parts of a whole. The whole can be a number or any specific value or a thing.
For example, in 2/4 is a fraction where the upper part denotes the numerator and lower part is the denominator.
* A fraction represents a numerical value, which defines the parts of a whole
Type of Fractions
Based on the properties of numerator and denominator, fractions are sub-divided into different types. They are:
→Proper fractions
→Improper fractions
→Mixed fractions
→Like fractions
→Unlike fractions
→Equivalent fractions
Proper Fractions
The proper fractions are those where the numerator is less than the denominator. For example, 8/9 will be a proper fraction since “numerator < denominator”.
Improper Fractions
The improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator happens to be greater than the denominator. For example, 9/8 will be an improper fraction since “denominator < numerator”.
Mixed Fractions
A mixed fraction is a combination of the integer part and a proper fraction. These are also called a mixed number or mixed numeral.
Like Fractions
Like fractions are those fractions, as the name suggests, that are alike or same.
For example, take ½ and 2/4; they are alike since if you simplify it mathematically, you will get the same fraction.
Unlike Fractions
Unlike fractions, are those that are dissimilar.
For example, ½ and 1/3 are unlike fractions.
Equivalent Fractions
Two fractions are equivalent to each other if after simplification either of two fractions is equal to the other one.
For example, ⅔ and 4/6 are equivalent fractions.
Since, 4/6 = (2×2)/(2×3) = 2/3
