In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
There are an infinite number of fractions with a value less than 1/2. Some examples are 1/3 1/4 1/5 2/5 1/6 1/7 2/7 3/7 3/8 11212/22425 1/10000090067856 and countless more. Any positive fraction, where the denominator is more than twice the numerator, and all negative fractions as well.
Improper fractions are always > 1. Reason, the numerator (top) is always larger than the denominator(bottom). NB Improper fractions is the correct term for 'Top Heavy' fractions.
There are tons of fractions that are less than 1/2. For example, there's 1/3,1/4,1/5,2/5,1/6,2/6,1/7,2/7,3/7,1/8,2/8,3/8,1/9,2/9,3/9,4/9,1/10,2/10,3/10,4/10 etc.
The possibilities of the division of numbers are infinite. Like colors, numbers are endless. Examples of fractions less than half are 1/3, 1/4, 1/16, 2/16, 3/16 etc.
Fractions smaller than 1/2 are any fractions where the numerator is less than the denominator. For example, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and so on are all smaller than 1/2. This is because when the numerator is smaller than the denominator, the value of the fraction is less than one-half.
In fractions equivalent to 1/2, the numerator is half of the denominator. Any fraction where the numerator is less than half of the denominator, like 19/40, is less than 1/2. Any fraction where the numerator is more than half of the denominator, like 49/96, is greater than 1/2. That's also a quick way to compare fractions. 4/9 is less than 5/8.
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
That's an infinite list that includes 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 and so on.
Proper fractions.
There are two types of fractions such as 3/4, 7/8 which are proper fractions because the numerator is less than the denominator and 16/7, 21/4 which are improper fractions because the numerator is greater than the denominator.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
1/2, 1/4
There are an infinite number of fractions with a value less than 1/2. Some examples are 1/3 1/4 1/5 2/5 1/6 1/7 2/7 3/7 3/8 11212/22425 1/10000090067856 and countless more. Any positive fraction, where the denominator is more than twice the numerator, and all negative fractions as well.
To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.
