A fraction is a number expressed in form of $\frac{a}{b}$, where the numerator is 'a' and the denominator is 'b'. Fractions are of two kinds: like fractions and unlike fractions. If the denominators of the two fractions are same, then it is a like fractions. If the denominators of the two fractions are not same, then the fractions are unlike.

Example: $\frac{6}{7}$
If the numerator value is greater than the denominator value, then the fraction is a improper fraction. The value of the this fraction will always be greater than 1.
Example: $\frac{7}{6}$
Improper fractions can be converted into mixed fractions and we get the Whole Number and a proper fraction as the result.
Example: 1$\frac{1}{6}$
All mathematical operations namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be performed on the fractions. Fractions can also be compare to find the greatest and smallest among fractions. Thus a series of fraction Numbers can be arranged in ascending or descending order. We can also convert the given fraction into Percentage or decimal numbers.
