That's an infinite list that includes 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 and so on.

Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
Proper fractions.
Oh, dude, fractions smaller than 1/2 are like the unpopular kids in high school - they just can't quite measure up. So, you've got 0/1, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, and so on. It's like a lineup of fractions waiting to be picked last for the math team.
If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.
1/4,1/8,1/16...
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.
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.
0.5
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.
Three fractions that are between one-half and one are 3/5, 4/7, and 5/8. Each of these fractions is greater than 1/2 and less than 1, providing examples of numbers that fall within that range.
Fractions greater than 1 are to the right of 1 and fractions less than 1 are to its left.
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.

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.
