A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in the fraction $$\frac{3}{4}$$ , 3 is the part and 4 is the whole.

What is the greater fraction: $$\frac{2}{5}$$ or $$\frac{3}{7}$$ ?

$$\frac{2}{5}$$ is greater than $$\frac{3}{7}$$ . (You can find a common denominator or convert to decimals to compare.)

What is a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is an improper fraction?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as $$\frac{5}{4}$$ .

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 1 $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the proper fraction.

What is the least common multiple (LCM)?

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the numbers.

What is the greatest common factor (GCF)?

The greatest common factor (GCF) of two or more numbers is the largest number that divides each of the numbers without leaving a remainder.

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators.

What is the importance of understanding fractions?

Understanding fractions is essential for solving real-world problems, such as cooking, budgeting, and measuring, as well as for advancing in mathematics.
