In a fraction, is the numerator on the top? Or the bottom?
Fraction (mathematics) the fraction is strictly less than one—that is, if the fraction is greater than −1 and less than 1. It is said to be an improper fraction, or sometimes top-heavy fraction, if the absolute value of the fraction is greater than or equal to 1. Examples of proper fractions are 2/3, –3/4, and 4/9; examples of improper fractions are 9/4, –4/3, and 3/3. The reciprocal of a fraction is another fraction with the numerator and denominator exchanged. The reciprocal of formula_10, for instance, is formula_11. The product of a fraction and its reciprocal is 1, hence the reciprocal is the
Algebraic fraction A "complex fraction" is a fraction whose numerator or denominator, or both, contains a fraction. A "simple fraction" contains no fraction either in its numerator or its denominator. A fraction is in "lowest terms" if the only factor common to the numerator and the denominator is 1. An expression which is not in fractional form is an "integral expression". An integral expression can always be written in fractional form by giving it the denominator 1. A "mixed expression" is the algebraic sum of one or more integral expressions and one or more fractional terms. If the expressions "a" and "b"
