Numerators are whole numbers. SO the answer is 0, -1, and so on : depending on what you consider to be "close to".
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.
Proper fractions are less than one.. Their numerators re less than their denominators. Their reciprocals have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than 1.
Numerators
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
Yes, it is. They have the same denominator, so you can compare the numerators.
Fractions that are less than one are known as proper fractions. Their denominators are greater than their numerators. Their reciprocals would have numerators greater than their denominators, making them improper. Improper fractions are greater than one.
One fifth is less than two sixths.1/5 = 6/302/6 = 10/30Convert the fractions to the form with the same denominator, then compare the numerators.
The fraction with the greater denominator is less. For example, 1/2 is greater than 1/3 while 1/3 has the greater denominator.
if its a whole number times a fraction you put a line and a denominator of 1. then, multiply the denominators with each other and numerators with each other
For a _positive_ fraction to be proper and in lowest terms, the numerator must be less than the denominator and be relatively prime. For denominator 1: 0 possible numerators. For denominator 2: 1 possible numerator. For denominator 3: 2 possible numerators. For denominator 4: 2 possible numerators. For denominator 5: 4 possible numerators. For denominator 6: 2 possible numerators. For denominator 7: 6 possible numerators. For denominator 8: 4 possible numerators. For denominator 9: 6 possible numerators. Adding all of them together gives 27 positive proper fractions in lowest terms. Symmetrically, there are 27 negative proper fractions in lowest terms. Also, 0/1 is in lowest terms by the above definition. So in total, there are 55 proper fractions in lowest terms with denominator being an integer from 1 to 9.
7/8 is pretty close (less than .1% approximation)
Yes; the first number is close to 17 and the second number is less than 1.
