A part of whole is called a fraction.
A quantity can be divided as any number of equal parts. If we take either one or more parts from them, then the portion is called as a fraction.
Remember, we can take as many parts as we want but we should not take all the parts as a fraction because taking all parts means we are taking the whole quantity and it cannot be called as a fraction. So, the quantity of a fraction is always less than the whole quantity.
Let’s try to learn the concept of a fraction from the following geometrical object.
Therefore, it can be understood that a fraction can be either a part of a quantity or sum of the parts of the same quantity.
The fractions are mathematically expressed in rational numbers.
