A fraction is written with one number (the numerator) on top of another number (the denominator) with a horizontal line separating them; the number on top is being divided by the number on the bottom. That's what fractions mean. One divided by two is one over two which is one half.

Indeed--fractions are merely an alternative way to represent division. example: 1/2 ----> one divided by two ----> 0.5 ;)
