VULGAR OR DECIMAL.

OF VULGAR FRACTIONS.

A FRACTION is a quantity which represents a part or parts of an integer or whole.

A Vulgar Fraction is represented by two numbers placed one above the other, with a line between them, as,,, &c. The number above the line is called the Numerator, and that below, the Denominator.

The Denominator shews into how many parts an unit is divided; and the Numerator how many of those parts are represented by the fraction: thus, means, that an unit, as one shilling, one gallon, &c., is divided into nine parts, and five of those parts are to be taken.

Of Vulgar Fractions there are six sorts.

(1.) A SIMPLE Fraction has but one Numerator, and one Denominator, as 3, 1, 3, &c.

23

279

(2.) A COMPOUND Fraction is the fraction of a fraction, and

is known by the word or placed between the parts;

(3.) A PROPER Fraction is when the Numerator is less than

5

the Denominator, as 1,, 13, &c.

(4.) An IMPROPER Fraction is when the Numerator is equal to, or greater than the Denominator, as 3,

(5.) A MIXED Number is composed of a whole number

(6) A COMPLEX Fraction has a fraction or mixed number,

in either or both of its terms; as
