Introduction 

A fraction is a part of something. Fractions are always written as follows:
Numerator over denominator. The numerator sits above the horizontal line and the denominator sits below the line. The numerator shows how many parts of the whole are being represented. The denominator shows how many parts make the whole.
Let’s look at an example.

We write a quarter as follows: \( \frac{1}{4} \) . The 1 sits above the fraction line and the 4 sits below. Here the numerator  is showing that this fraction represents 1 part of the whole. Here the denominator is showing that 4 parts make up the whole.
