and the lower part is called as denominator.

OR

2. Fraction is the identity which represents small portion of a whole thing .

OR

3. A fraction is the mathematical way of expressing a value less than a whole.

4. There are different ways of writing a fraction :-> e.g . Two – fifth of a object can be
written as,
a. A common fraction……….2/5
b. A decimal………….. …… 0.5
c. A percentage………………40%]

1. What is numerator ?
Numerator tells about that how many parts is in the fraction .

2. What is Denominator ?
Denominator tells about how many equal parts is in the whole object.

e.g 2/4 1 2 3 4

Note :- DENOMINATOR can never be 0

DENOMINATOR ≠ 0

Types of Fractions :-
1. Proper Fraction :- In this case numerator is < than Denominator
eg 1/2 , 2/5 , 19/20
2. Improper Fraction :- Here Numerator is > than Denominator
eg 7/2, 5/2, 10/3
3. Equvalent Fraction:- When Numerator = Denominator
eg 5/5, 8/2, 8/4
4. Mixed Fraction:- It is the whole number + a proper fraction
Eg 2 plus 1/5 = 2*1/5
