Fraction is a component or sector of a given quantity taken from the whole, which might be a number, a specified value, or an item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/fractions\/fraction\">fraction<\/a> represents a part of the whole or group of objects.In a fraction, numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) are separated by a horizontal bar known as the fractional bar. The denominator represents the number of equal parts the whole is divided into or total number of objects in a group. The numerator represents the number of parts of the whole or the number of objects from the group is taken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let us better understand fractions with the help of an example. A chocolate bar is divided into four equal parts. Each part of the whole bar represents $\\frac{1}{4}$ , which depicts 1 out of 4 equal parts. The fraction \u00bc is read as \u20181 by 4\u2019.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
