The number with greater extreme left digit will be greater. Step III: Compare the extreme left digits of the decimal parts of two numbers. If the whole parts are equal, go to next step. The number with greater whole part will be greater.

Step II: Compare the whole parts of the numbers. (iii) Decimals having the same number of places are called like decimals, otherwise they are known as unlike decimals.ĭecimal numbers may be compared by using the following steps. (ii) The number of digits contained in the decimal part of a decimal number is known as the number of decimal places. (i) A decimal has two parts, namely, the whole number part and decimal part. Decimals are fractions whose denominators are 10, 100, 1000 etc. To find the fraction square root, first, find the square root of the numerator and then find the square root of denominator i.e.ġ4. Two fractions are said to be reciprocal of each other if their product is 1. (iv) Division of fractions: To divide a fraction by another fraction, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.ġ2. (iii) Reciprocal of fractions: The reciprocal of any fraction can be obtained by swapping the numerator and the denominator.

(ii) Multiplication of fractions: When multiplying two or more fractions together, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. (i) Addition and subtraction of fractions: To add or subtract fractions which are the same type i.e., they have same denominator (this is called a common denominator), add or subtract the numerator keeping the denominator same. If the fractions have different denominators, use equivalent fractions to make the fractions of common denominators. Multiply the denominator of the fractional part by the whole number, and add the result to the numerator. Use this result as your numerator, and place it over the denominator you already have. Convert a Mixed Number to an Improper Fraction: Step II: Convert each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction having denominator equal to the LCM obtained in step I.ġ0. To convert unlike fractions into like fractions, we use the following steps: Step III: Arrange the fractions in ascending or descending order by arranging numerators in ascending or descending order.ĩ. Converting Fractions to Like Fractions: Step II: Convert each fraction to its equivalent fraction with denominator equal to the LCM obtained in step I. Step I: Find the LCM of the denominator of the given fractions. To compare fractions, we use the following steps: The fractions with denominator not equal to 10, 100, 1000 etc are called vulgar fractions. (v) This number is the numerator and is written above the dividing line of the fraction. (iii) Draw the dividing line of the fraction above this number. (ii) Write this number as the denominator on the bottom of the fraction. (i) Count how many equal parts the shape is divided into in total. To identify the fraction of a shaded shape, use these steps: A fraction is said to be in its lowest terms if its numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1. Otherwise, they are called unlike fractions.ĥ. Fractions having the same denominators are called like fractions. To get a fraction equivalent to a given fraction, we multiply (or divide) its numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.Ĥ. (iv) Vulgar fraction, whose denominator is not of the form 10, 100, 1000, … (iii) A combination of a whole number and a proper fraction is called a mixed fraction. (ii) A fraction whose numerator is more than or equal to the denominator is called an improper fraction.

(i) A fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called a proper fraction. (iii) In a fraction a b, we call a as numerator and b as denominator. (ii) A fraction can be expressed in the form a b, where a, b are whole numbers and b ≠ 0. (i) A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole.
