2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a/b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 / 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 8 / −5 ⁠

3. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

   A complex fraction is a fraction whose numerator or denominator, or both, contains a fraction. A simple fraction contains no fraction either in its numerator or its denominator. A fraction is in lowest terms if the only factor common to the numerator and the denominator is 1. An expression which is not in fractional form is an integral ...

   Both groups are equal to 5. Apples are frequently used to explain arithmetic in textbooks for children. [1] Elementary mathematics, also known as primary or secondary school mathematics, is the study of mathematics topics that are commonly taught at the primary or secondary school levels around the world.

   These concrete objects facilitate children's understanding of important math concepts, then later help them link these ideas to representations and abstract ideas. For example, there are manipulatives specifically designed to help students learn fractions, geometry and algebra. [3]

6. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   A unit fraction is a positive fraction with one as its numerator, 1/ n. It is the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the denominator of the fraction, ...

7. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_(mathematics)

   However, if the fraction 1/1 is replaced by the fraction 2/2, which is an equivalent fraction denoting the same rational number 1, the mediant of the fractions 2/2 and 1/2 is 3/4. For a stronger connection to rational numbers the fractions may be required to be reduced to lowest terms , thereby selecting unique representatives from the ...

8. Reduction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form. For example, the process of rewriting a fraction into one with the smallest whole-number denominator possible (while keeping the numerator a whole number) is called "reducing a fraction".

9. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered). [1]
