If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.
less, if it is a fraction of a half, it cannt be a whole
If the signs of the numerator and denominator are different then the fraction is less than 0 and, therefore, obviously less than one half.If the signs are the same then if the absolute value of the numerator is less than or equal to half the absolute value of the denominator, then the fraction is less than or equal to one half.Algebraically,p/q
greater than
If the numerator is greater than or less than one half of the denominator. For example, 7/16 is less because 7 is less than half of 16.
The numerator is less than half of the denominator.
If the denominator is more than double the numerator, then the fraction is less than a half.

Every negative fraction, and every positive fraction whose numerator is half of its denominator or less, is not greater than one half.
You end up with an integer and a fraction. The integer is half of (one less than the one you started with), and the fraction is a half.
1/4 or one fourth.
2/5
greater than
There are infinitely many of them: 41/97 is one such.
3/8 is greater than 1/4 and less than 1/2.
Any fraction with a numerator of one and a denominator greater than two.
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.
