|
| Common denominator | To add two or more fractions, denominators must be the same. Example: 1/8+2/8=3/8 8 is the common denominator |
| Denominator | 6/55. 55 is the denominator. The denominator or bottom number gives the total number of the equal parts. |
| Equivalent | Two or more fractions equivalent in value. Example: 1/4=2/8 |
| Fractions | Expresses a part of a whole number. Example: 5/6 expresses 5 parts out of 6. |
| Greatest common divisor | The largest possible number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and denominator. |
| Higher terms | Expressing a fraction with a new numerator and denominator that is equivalent to the original. Example: 1/4 x 3/3=3/12 |
| Improper fraction | Fraction that has a value equal to or greater than 1; numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator. Example: 5/4 |
| Least common denominator (LCD) | Smallest non-zero whole number into which all denominators will divide evenly. |
| Like fractions | Proper fractions with the same denominators. Example: 2/10, 5/10, 6/10 |
| Lowest terms |
Expressing a fraction when no number divides evenly into the numerator and denominator except the number 1.

| Mixed number | Sum of a whole number greater than zero and a proper fraction. Example: 1 1/2 |
| Numerator | 6/55 6 is the numerator or top number. The numerator describes the number of equal parts of the whole. |
| Prime number | Whole number greater than 1 that is only divisible by itself and 1. Examples: 3, 5, 7, 11 |
| Proper fraction | Fractions with a value less than 1; numerator is smaller than denominator, such as 5/9. |
| Reciprocal | The interchanging of the numerator and the denominator. Inverted number is the reciprocal. |
| Unlike fractions | Proper fractions with different denominators. Example: 1/7, 2/5, 3/10 |
