Let us Summarize the 5th Grade Fraction:

1. A fraction can be represented by three ways:

(i) As a part of a whole

(ii) As a part of a collection

(iii) As division


2. A fraction having numerator 1 is called a unit fraction.

3. Fraction having same denominators are called like fractions.

4. Fraction having different denominators are called unlike fractions.

5. A fraction whose numerator is less than its denominator is called a proper fraction.

6. A fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator is called an improper fraction.

7. Fractions having equal value are called equivalent fractions.

8. Fractions \(\frac{a}{b}\) and \(\frac{c}{d}\) are equivalent fractions when ad = bc.

9. A combination of a natural number and a proper fraction is called a mixed fraction (number).

10. A fraction is said to be a fraction in its lower terms, if the HCF of a and b is 1. 

11. To reduce a given fraction to its simplest form, we divide both its numerator and denominator by their HCF.

12. Of the two given like fractions, the fraction with greater numerator is greater.

13. Of the two given fractions with same numerator, the fraction with greater denominator is smaller.
