What is the difference between ancient Egyptian fractions and modern fractions?

Ancient Egyptian fractions are a system that only used unit fractions, which are fractions with a numerator of one, such as 1/2, 1/3, and so on.

In contrast, modern fractions can have any integer as the numerator and denominator, allowing for more straightforward representations and calculations. This difference reflects a significant evolution in mathematical notation and understanding over time.
