In Maths, there are three major types of fractions. They are proper fractions, improper fractions and mixed fractions. Fractions are those terms which have numerator and denominator. Based on these two terms we define its types.
Fractions are the terms used to determine the parts of a whole object. For example, a pizza is divided into four pieces, so each piece of it is represented as 1/4th of the pizza. Here 1 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.
Based on numerator and denominator, apart from these three major types of fractions, there are three more types of fractions namely like & unlike fractions and equivalent fractions. Hence, there are in total six types of fractions such as:
Proper fraction
Improper fraction
Mixed fraction
Like fractions
Unlike fractions
Equivalent fractions
Note: The first three fractions are defined for a single fraction but the other three fractions, determine the comparison between two or more fractions.
In real-life scenarios all the measured quantities cannot be an absolute whole number, we may have to deal with parts and portions of whole things, and this is where the concept of fraction comes into the picture.
