    The process for subtracting fractions is, in essence, the same as that of adding them: find a common denominator, and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the chosen common denominator. The resulting fraction will have that denominator, and its numerator will be the result of subtracting the numerators of the original fractions.

    That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≥ B is equivalent to A > B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a subgroup of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds

    For example, given that there is a pattern of odds of 5/4, 7/4, 9/4 and so on, odds which are mathematically 3/2 are more easily compared if expressed in the equivalent form 6/4. Fractional odds are also known as British odds, UK odds, [9] or, in that country, traditional odds. They are typically represented with a "/" but can also be ...

    Two fractions ⁠ a / b ⁠ and ⁠ c / d ⁠ are equal or equivalent if and only if ad = bc.) For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator ...

    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 ...
