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.

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.
