The first known use of fractions dates back to ancient civilizations, particularly the Egyptians and Babylonians around 3000 to 2000 BCE. The Egyptians used a system of unit fractions, represented by symbols, for various practical applications, such as in trade and construction. The Babylonians, on the other hand, utilized a base-60 system that allowed for more complex fraction calculations. These early uses laid the foundation for the development of fractional concepts in mathematics.
