A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of two parts: the numerator and the denominator. The numerator shows how many parts are being considered while the denominator indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into. Fractions are used to express values less than one.
In Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 on Fractions students study the concept of fractions where the numerator represents the parts being considered and the denominator represents the total parts in the whole. The chapter includes operations like addition subtraction multiplication and division of fractions as well as simplifying and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
