A fraction represents any number of equal parts. It is a part of a whole.
Fraction consists of a numerator which is present above a line or before a slash like 1⁄2 and a non-zero denominator, which is displayed below or after that line.
The numerator indicates the number of equal parts, and the denominator represents how many of those parts make up a unit or a whole. The denominator never is zero, because zero parts can never make up a whole.
Numerators and denominators that are also not common, including compound, complex, and mixed numerals.
In positive common fractions, the numerator and denominator are natural numbers. For instance, in the fraction ⅔, 2 represents 2 equal parts, and the denominator 3 indicates that 3 parts make up a whole.
⅔ can also be represented as a decimal, a percent, or with a negative exponent.
Types
Unit fractions
Numerator 1 are called unit fractions, e.g. ½, ⅓, ¼, etc.
Proper fractions
Fractions in which the numerator is less than the denominator. ⅔, ⅘, etc
Improper fractions
Fractions in which the numerator is more than or equal to the denominator are called improper fractions. 4/3, 5/4, 7/6 etc.
Mixed fractions
Mixed fractions consist of a whole number along with a proper. 2½, 5⅗, 4⅔ etc.
Addition
⅓ + ⅖ = 5 + 3 / 15 = 8 / 15

Vedic Method of Finding largest And Smallest fraction
3 /5 , 3 / 4 , 2/ 3 , 4 / 5
Step 1: Find the difference in each
3 / 5 — 5 – 3 = 2
3 / 4 — 4 – 3 = 1
2 / 3 — 3 – 2 = 1
4 / 5 — 5 – 4 = 1
Step 2: Multiply all differences
2 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 2
Step 3 : Find the factor of
2 and 2 = 1
1 and 2 = 2
1 and 2 = 2
1 and 2 = 2
Step 3: Multiply numerators with these factors
3 / 5 × 1 = 3 / 5
3 / 4 × 2 = 6 / 5
2 / 3 × 2 = 4 / 5
4 / 5 × 2 = 8 / 5
》 Answer
8 / 5 = Largest
3 / 5 = Smallest
