fraction in general means a part.. unlike other numbers fractions convey little more information the denominator gives the total no parts a unit is divided in to and the numerator convyes abt no of parts out of total no of parts(denominator). most simple way to understad is considering a half(1/2) apple here total number of parts in to which apple is divided is 2 and the considered part is 1 out of 2. hence they are perfectly called as fractions..
