When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction.

Fraction can be expressible by the quotient of two numbers as in a/b, “b” greater than 1, where “a” is called the numerator and “b” is called the denominator.

Proper Fraction

If “a” is smaller than “b” it is a proper fraction.

Example:
