<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.prepswift.com/quizzes/quiz/prepswift-fractions">Fractions Exercise</a></p><p><strong><span style="color:#27ae60;">Fractions </span></strong>are numbers that adhere to a particular form. There is one integer on top, called the numerator, one integer on the bottom, called the denominator, and a line in the middle.</p>
<p>$$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{integer}{integer} = \frac{numerator}{denominator}$$</p>
<p>Of course the denominator can <strong><span style="color:#e74c3c;"><u>never</u></span></strong> be $0$.</p>
<p><span style="color:#8e44ad;"><span style="font-size:20px;">A Couple of Notes</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li> Integers like $27$ or $5!$ are fractions because they can simply be written as $\frac{27}{1}$ and $\frac{5!}{1}$.</li>
<li>A number like $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ is <strong><u>not</u></strong> a fraction because the numerator is not an integer. </li>
<li>Fractions can be <u><strong>SIMPLIFIED</strong></u>. For example...</li>
</ol>
<p>$$\frac{18}{24} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$$</p>
<p>This "reduction" process stops when the numerator and denominator share no common factors.</p>
