   A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a / b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [ 9 ] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠12⁠, − ⁠85⁠, ⁠−85⁠, and ⁠8−5⁠.

3. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediant_(mathematics)

   Mediant (mathematics) In mathematics, the mediant of two fractions, generally made up of four positive integers. and is defined as. That is to say, the numerator and denominator of the mediant are the sums of the numerators and denominators of the given fractions, respectively. It is sometimes called the freshman sum, as it is a common mistake ...

4. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   Partial fraction decomposition. In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions ...

5. Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics)

   Calculus. In mathematics, the harmonic series is the infinite series formed by summing all positive unit fractions: The first terms of the series sum to approximately , where is the natural logarithm and is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Because the logarithm has arbitrarily large values, the harmonic series does not have a finite limit: it ...

6. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

   Description. The lowest common denominator of a set of fractions is the lowest number that is a multiple of all the denominators: their lowest common multiple. The product of the denominators is always a common denominator, as in: but it is not always the lowest common denominator, as in: Here, 36 is the least common multiple of 12 and 18.

7. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

   Continued fraction. A finite regular continued fraction, where is a non-negative integer, is an integer, and is a positive integer, for . In mathematics, a continued fraction is an expression obtained through an iterative process of representing a number as the sum of its integer part and the reciprocal of another number, then writing this ...
