The word "of", when expressed in a phrase involving a fraction, represents the word "times". An example, finding a half of10, is the same as finding 1/2 x 10 - or a half timesten.

It is a short word for 'indices', a way of dividing large numbers by fractions. Please ask a Mathematician for more details - to avoid complications. In simpler terms, of means to divide.
