Fraction Solver

A fraction represents a part of a whole or a ratio between two numbers. Standard Form: a/b • a = numerator • b = denominator (b ≠ 0) Types: 1. Proper: Numerator < Denominator (e.g., 3/4) 2. Improper: Numerator ≥ Denominator (e.g., 5/3) 3. Mixed: Whole number + Proper fraction (e.g., 2 1/3) 4. Equivalent: Same value, different form (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4) Operations: • Addition/Subtraction: Need common denominator • Multiplication: (a/b) × (c/d) = (ac)/(bd) • Division: (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c) Key Properties: • a/a = 1 (identity) • 0/a = 0 (zero property) • a/0 = undefined Applications: Measurement, cooking, construction, finance, and representing non-whole quantities.
