Representative fractions are expressed in the form of 1 followed by a : (colon) and then a number, where the one is the numerator in the fraction, the colon represents the division operation, and the other number is the denominator. Thus, a scale of 1:24,000 can be expressed mathematically as 1/24,000.

What is Representative Fraction ?

A representative fraction is the ratio of distances shown on a map to actual distances (RF).

• When writing a fraction, a representative fraction is expressed as 1 followed by a colon and a number, where the first number is the numerator of the fraction, the colon denotes the division operation, and the second number is the denominator of the fraction.
• RF may be defined as 1: 24,000 if one inch on the map is equivalent to 24,000 inches on the ground and one centimetre on the map is equal to 24,000 centimetres on the ground.

The relationship between one "unit" on the map and whatever many "units" of the same sort there are in reality is known as a representative fraction.
