A number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator. In a simple fraction, both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator.
Parts of Fraction
A fraction has two parts, the numerator and the denominator. Numerator: The numerator represents the number that is placed above the bar while writing the fraction. For example, in 6/7, 6 is the numerator. Denominator: The denominator indicates the part that is placed below the bar while writing the fraction.
Multiplicand & Multiplier
The number to be multiplied is the multiplicand, and the number by which it is multiplied is the multiplier. The result of a multiplication is called a product. A product of integers is a multiple of each factor.
