How to Learn Fractions - Mathematics

This video is all about fraction. Fraction is actually the most confusing thing for the students of young students. 

What are fractions? 

When a whole is divided into equal pieces, if fewer equal pieces are needed to make up the whole, then each piece must be larger. When two positive fractions have the same numerator, they represent the same number of parts, but in the fraction with the smaller denominator, the parts are larger.

What Are Fractions?

We must know a little about fraction and its parts. First, a fraction is made up of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.

The top one is called the numerator, the bottom one is called the denominator, and these two numbers are separated by a line. The line can be horizontal or slanted—they both mean the same thing and simply serve to separate the numerator from the denominator.

If we want to know about the origin of the word we find that the word “denominator” is derived from the Latin word “nomen,” which means “name” (and also shows up in words like “nominate” and “nomenclature”). And that’s pretty much what the denominator of a fraction does: it “names,” or indicates, the type of fraction that is described by the numerator (the top part). Here’s what I mean. The denominator of a fraction tells you how many parts a whole is broken into. It can be a whole pineapple, a whole song, or a whole anything. If the denominator of a fraction is, say, 4, then that indicates that the whole whatever is broken up into 4 equally-sized pieces.

Denominator: Fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions. If we compare like fractions, we find in like fractions that the fraction with the greater numerator is greater. Two fractions are unlike fractions if they have different denominators. Comparing unlike fractions: If two fractions with the same numerator but different denominators are to be compared, then the fraction with the smaller denominator is the greater of the two.
