What Is a Fraction?

A fraction is a part of something. It is also a way to compare two things. In math, a fraction has two parts: the top number, which is called the numerator and the bottom number, which is called the denominator. The numerator tells you how many parts you have and the denominator tells you how many parts the whole thing is divided into.

• For example: if you have the fraction 3/4 that means you have three parts out of a total of four parts.

So when you first learn about fractions you need to understand that they can be less than one, equal to one, or more than one. You can see fractions in your daily life. They are used when you divide a pizza with your friends or when you measure things for a recipe or even when you try to figure out the chances of something happening. Fractions are really important.

Types of Fractions

Mathematics uses different types of fractions, each of which has their own special features and practical applications. 

• Proper fractions have a numerator smaller than the denominator, resulting in a value less than 1.

• Improper fractions use their numerator value which equals or exceeds the denominator value to produce fractions that equal or exceed 1.

• Mixed numbers use a whole number and a proper fraction to show values that exceed 1 in a format that is easier to read.

• Equivalent fractions display different forms yet maintain identical values because their numerators and denominators were multiplied or divided by the same non-zero number.

The addition and subtraction process becomes easier with fractions because they have identical denominators.

How to Calculate Fractions: Formulas and Methods

You must understand the fundamental rules of fractions along with their mathematical formulas to complete your mathematical requirements. 

Addition / Subtraction (different denominators):

The process starts with finding a common denominator which people usually establish through the LCM method and then they convert all fractions before proceeding to add or subtract the numerators.

Addition (Cross-Multiplication Shortcut):

When the denominators differ from each other, people can use cross-multiplying as a fast method for adding fractions.

Formula:

$$\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + bc}{bd}$$

You have to conduct diagonal multiplication through the operations (a×d and b×c) which you sum together to form the fraction that sits above the denominator product.

Multiplication:

The operation of multiplying fractions stands out as the simplest mathematical task.

You need to multiply the numerators which are the top numbers and then multiply the denominators which are the bottom numbers. After that, you must simplify the result if it can be reduced further.

Formula:

$$\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}$$

Division:

Division appears complex at first sight, but it turns into an easy task after you learn the single principle which states you should flip the numbers before performing multiplication.

You need to take the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of performing division and you should multiply.

Formula:

$$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$

Improper ⇄ Mixed Fraction Conversions

Fractions exist in two basic formats which include improper fractions and mixed number fractions.

Improper → Mixed:

The division operation requires you to divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number results from the quotient, while the remainder becomes the new numerator.

Mixed → Improper:

The process starts when you multiply the whole number by the denominator and then you add the numerator. The result needs to be placed over the original denominator.
