<p>A<a>fraction</a>is a way<a>of</a>representing a part of a whole or a portion of something. For example, there is pizza divided into 4 equal parts. If you eat 1 slice, you have eaten \(\frac{1}{4} \) of the pizza. Here, 1 is the<a>numerator</a>, which tells us how many parts you have. 4 is the<a>denominator</a>and tells us how many equal parts the whole is divided into.</p>
