Fraction: key points

A fraction represents a part of a whole, written as a numerator over a denominator.

  • To add or subtract fractions, bring them to a common denominator (the LCM of the denominators).
  • To compare fractions, convert them to decimals or cross-multiply.
  • To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.
  • Useful decimals: 1/8 = 0.125, 3/8 = 0.375, 5/8 = 0.625, 7/8 = 0.875.
