Improper fractions

Let's learn about improper fractions and its related operations in today's learning.

Fractions are rational numbers formed of a numerator and a denominator. When in a fraction the numerator is smaller than the denominator, such a fraction is called as proper fraction. On the other hand when the numerator is greater than the denominator, such a fraction is called as improper fraction.

Let's learn how to subtract fractions now. Operations with improper fractions are as simple as general fractions operations. As for examples subtracting improper fractions are as similar as subtracting fractions. The methods applied are similar. If the denominators are same, taking the common denominators, only numerators are subtracted. On the other hand if the denominators are different, finding out the LCM, taking a common denominator, subtraction operation should be performed. Similarly all other operations are performed with improper fractions.

Equivalent Fractions

Let's learn how to do equivalent fractions in today's learning. Two fractions are said to be equivalent fractions when after simplification both the fractions are equal.

Below is an example which will help you to understand how to do equivalent fractions:

2/4 and 3/6

After simplifying, we get

1/2 and 1/2

Thus, both are equivalent fractions.

Next time i will help in how do you reduce fractions. Till then understand this concept and practice problems based on it to improve your learning.
