A fraction is a number that shows how many equal parts there are. When we write fractions, we show one number with a line above another number, for example, 






1
4





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{4}}}

 or 1⁄4 or 1/4. The top number tells us how many parts there are, the second number tells us the total number of parts.

The top part of the fraction is called a numerator. The bottom part of the fraction is called a denominator. For example, 






1
4





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{4}}}

: The 1 is the numerator here, and the 4 is the denominator.

A fraction is a mathematical expression relating two quantities or numbers, one divided by the other. The numbers may be whole numbers (or integers) – this is a rational number. For example, 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 is a fraction. They can also be polynomials – this is a rational function.

Mathematically, a fraction is a quotient of numbers, representing the number's value when the numerator is divided by the denominator (lower number).  Thus 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 means one divided by two, or, in decimals, 0.5.

To find 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 of 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

, the denominators are multiplied. That means: denominator 2 multiplied by 2 equals 4 or: 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 x 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 = 






1
4





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{4}}}

 or: 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25.

(In this case “






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 of” means mathematically "multiplication".)

To find 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 divided by 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

, multiply 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

 by the reciprocal of 






1
2





{\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}}

, which is 2. That answer is 1.

The numerator is multiplied by the other numerator. The denominator is multiplied by the other denominator.
E.g. 2⁄4 x 3⁄4 = 6⁄16   you can simplify
this by dividing both the numbers by a common factor.This would be 3⁄8
