Read More →Fractions – Multiplication Multiplication of fractions: When we multiply any two fractions then the top numbers of the fractions(numerators) and the bottom numbers of the fractions(denominators) are multiplied together. Example: 1/2 x 3/4 = (1 x 3)/(2 x 4) = 3/8 How to Multiply Fractions? Multiplication of fractions is not like as the addition and […]
Read More →Comparing – Unit Fractions Unit fractions are fractions in which numerator(top of the number) of the fraction is 1 and denominator(bottom number) of the fraction is a whole number. Example: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/12, and so on. In a unit fraction, the numerator is always 1. In a fraction, denominator shows the number of […]
Read More →Addition of Like Fraction Addition of Fractions Fractions represents a part of a whole. The normal addition of numbers and the addition of fractions are different. A fraction has a numerator and a denominator which is separated by a bar. For example, 1/2, 4/3, 12/5, 24/7, 26/3. Let us see more about addition of like […]
Read More →Conversion of Improper Fractions into Mixed Fractions With Examples Improper fractions can also represented as a mixed number. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, these steps are follows. Step1 : Divide the numerator by denominator. Step 2 : Find the remainder and the quotient. Step 3 : The quotient becomes the whole […]
Read More →Proper Fraction and Improper Fraction – Difference In this tutorial we learn difference between a proper fraction and an improper fraction. Proper Fraction Improper Fraction A “Proper Fraction” is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than it’s denominator. A “Improper Fraction” is a fraction whose numerator is equal to or greater than it’s denominator. Examples: 2/9, 3/7 and 1/8 […]

Here are some examples of unit fractions. In below image 1/4, 1/2 , 1/6, 1/16 are unit fractions. Note: The product of 2 unit fractions is […]
Read More →Conversion of Mixed Fractions into Improper Fractions Mixed Fraction to a Improper Fraction A mixed fraction can be converted to an improper fraction. We know that an improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than denominator. A mixed fraction is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. So, when converting […]
Read More →Mixed Fraction Definition – Example Definition: A “Mixed Fraction” is a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. In figure, example (i) shows, 2 3/4 is a mixed fraction where 2 is a whole number and 3/4 is a proper fraction. Example (ii) shows, 3 1/5 is a mixed fraction where 3 is a whole […]
Read More →Negative Exponents In this tutorial, we will learn about negative exponents. When we change a negative exponent into positive exponent, we write the reciprocal of the given positive exponent. Negative sign means the reciprocal of the given number. For any non zero number a, (a-m = 1/am). Where m is a positive integer and a-m […]
