[b]Definition of Fractions[br][/b]A number representing a same part of a whole, usually written as the ratio of a numerator and a non-zero denominator.[br]The number on the top is called the [b]numerator[/b], and the number on the bottom is called the [b]denominator[/b].
The concept of fractional numbers can be linked to the concept of large (area),[br]length, or set. [br]Look at the following illustration!
[b]Comparing Fractions[br][/b]When comparing fractions, remember that the numerator is the top number and the denominator is the bottom number. With the same denominator, the larger numerator means a larger fraction. With the same numerator, the smaller denominator means a larger fraction.[br][br]So that you understand better about comparing fractions with different numbers, move the slider below!
