Fractions simply tell how many parts of a whole (number or any certain value). In other words, it is also termed as portion or section or division of any quantity.
Type of Fractions:
Based on the properties of numerator and denominator, fractions are sub-divided into different types. They are:
- Proper fractions
- Improper fractions
- Like fractions
- Unlike fractions
- Mixed fractions
- Proper 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 fractions, as one can deduce, is the fractions where the numerator happens to be greater than the denominator. For example, 9/8 will be an improper fraction since “denominator < numerator”.
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.
Mixed Fractions
A mixed fraction is the sum of a non-zero integer and proper fraction. These are also called a mixed number or mixed numeral.
