About Fractions
Taking a general definition, a fraction (simple, common or vulgar fraction) is a rational number of the form p/q where p and q are integers with q≠0. In here p is called numerator and q is the denominator.
In the formal representation, the numerator and denomination are separated by a fraction bar. The fraction bar can be horizontal, oblique, or diagonal.
These simple fractions are further classified into proper and improper fractions:
- Proper Fractions: The fraction is called proper if the numerator p is less than the denominator q.
- Improper Fractions: The fraction is called improper if the numerator p is greater than the denominator q.

We can perform various arithmetic operations on fractions just like any other number.
Following are the direct formulas to perform these operations on fractions
+ : (x/y) + (u/v) = (xv + yu)/yv
– : (a/y) – (u/v) = (xv – uy)/yv
* : (x/y) . (u/v) = xu/vy
/ : (x/y) / (u/v) = xv/uy
