Parts Of The Fraction

Fraction is basically divided into 2 parts.
Part of the fraction above the line is called numerator;
while part of the fraction below the line is called denominator.




 For mixed fraction, there is a whole number beside it.
 
How? 
For example，
You buy a cake and cut it into four pieces equally. 
 
Then, if you can't eat the whole, it means that you just eat part of it. Let's say that you only eat 1 out of these four pieces.


So, we write 1/4 where 1 (the piece that we eat) as numerator and 4 (the total of pieces that we have cut for the whole) as denominator.
