Basics about fraction
A fraction describes to us a part of a whole number (1, 2, 3, 4...) or a group of numbers. Fractions are the numbers between 0 and 1, or 1 and 2, etc.. They result from a division of a whole number.
Let's take a look at the two numbers that make up a fraction.
1 <---Numerator
---
3 <---Denominator
The top number (1) is called the numerator and the bottom number (3) is called the denominator. This fraction means 1?, that is, 1 divided by 3. It also means that one thing cut-up or broken into three pieces. We can also read this fraction as one-third.
Sometimes it's hard to remember numerators from denominators. Try letting the "D" in denominator remind you of the "D" in down. Likewise, the "U" in numerator can remind you of the "U" in up.
