A man is like a fraction whose numerator
is what he is and whose denominator is
what he thinks of himself. The larger the
denominator, the smaller the fraction.

 FRACTIONS

◆ A fraction indicates a
part or portion of a
whole or unit.
3
 FRACTIONS
◆ The number on the top of the bar line is
called the numerator. That indicates how
many are to be taken from the equal parts
when the whole is divided
◆ The denominator indicates how many
equal parts the whole is divided.

◆ TYPES OF FRACTIONS
1. Proper Fractions – it is a type of fraction
whose numerator is smaller than the
denominator.
2. Improper Fractions – is a fraction which
the numerator is equal or greater than the
denominator.
3. Mixed Numbers – it consists of a whole
number and a fraction.

A FRACTION IS CLASSIFIED AS A SIMPLE FRACTION
IF IT WAS REDUCED IN LOWEST TERMS. THIS
MEANS THAT THE NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR
CANNOT BE DIVIDED EVENLY BY THE SAME
MANNER EXCEPT 1.

 REDUCING FRACTIONS TO LOWEST TERMS

◆ A fraction is simplified when it is reduced to its lowest

terms without changing the value of the fraction.
◆ To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, divide both the
numerator and the denominator by the greatest
common denominator (GCD) the GCD is the largest
number which is a common divisor of both numerator
and denominator

 EXAMPLES

◆ 12/20 ◆ 24/56
◆ 36/48 ◆ 15/65
◆ 6/9 ◆ 8/34
◆ 2/4 ◆ 45/100

 CHANGING IMPROPER FRACTIONS TO MIXED NUMBER

◆ Divide the numerator by the denominator to

change an improper fraction to a whole or mixed
number.
◆ If the remainder is zero, the quotient is a whole
number.
◆ If the remainder is not zero, the improper fraction
will be expressed as a mixed number.
12
 LET’S PRACTICE

◆ 120/10 ◆ 12
◆ 119/3 ◆ 39 2/3
13
◆ 135/4 ◆ 33 3/4
 WRITE A MIXED NUMBER AS AN IMPROPER FRACTION

◆ Find the numerator of the improper fraction.

◆ Multiply the denominator of the mixed number

by the whole number part.

◆ Add the product from the previous step to the

numerator of the mixed number.

◆ Use the denominator of the mixed number.

14
 TRY THIS!
Convert 10 ¾ to an improper fraction
◆ The numerator of the fraction is “3.”
◆ Multiply the whole number, which is “10” by the
denominator which is “4”; the result is 40.
◆ Add the numerator to product; 40 + 3 = 43.
◆ Retain the same denominator.
◆ 43/4 is the improper fraction equivalent.
