A fraction is another way from writing division. You can write Number A divided by Number B as Number A/Number B. This way of writing allows one way of writing numbers that are not whole numbers. They fully replace the division sign in algebra, because the rules that apply to them are much easier to handle than expressions with division signs.

Fractions (as well as decimals) are used to work with numbers that are not exact integers.
