Fraction
A fraction represents a part of a whole quantity or a group, written in the form a/b where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator (b not equal to 0).
Proper and Improper Fractions
A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than its denominator (value less than 1). An improper fraction has a numerator greater than or equal to its denominator.
Mixed Fraction
A mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 1 and 3/4.
Like and Unlike Fractions
Like fractions have the same denominators, whereas unlike fractions have different denominators.
Equivalent Fractions
Fractions that represent the same part or value of a whole, obtained by multiplying or dividing both numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we add fractions with different denominators?
To add unlike fractions, first find the LCM of their denominators to convert them into like fractions, then add their numerators while keeping the denominator common.
What is the difference between a proper and an improper fraction?
In a proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator. In an improper fraction, the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator.
How can we check if two fractions are equivalent?
You can cross-multiply them; if the products are equal, the fractions are equivalent. Alternatively, reduce both fractions to their simplest forms.
