In arithmetic, a vulgar fraction (or common fraction) consists of one integer divided by a non-zero integer.
Fractions In mathematics, the greatest common divisor (gcd), sometimes known as the greatest common factor (gcf) or highest common factor (hcf), of two non-zero integers, is the largest positive integer that divides both numbers without remainder.
In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or (partial fraction expansion) is used to reduce the degree of either the numerator or the denominator of a rational function.

  Vulgar fraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In arithmetic, a vulgar fraction (or common fraction) consists of one integer divided by a non-zero integer.
All vulgar fractions are rational numbers and, by definition, all rational numbers can be expressed as vulgar fractions, although the representation is not unique.
Naturally, a fraction which is not a vulgar fraction is one in which either the numerator or the denominator is something other than a simple integer (for instance, a square root expression).

A vulgar fraction (or common fraction) is a rational number written as one integer (the numerator) divided by a non-zero integer (the denominator), for example, as opposed to 1.
A complex fraction (or compound fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator contain a fraction.

 Talk:Vulgar fraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The plan for this article is to move most of the current text into an ==arithmetic== section and to bring over from the fraction (mathematics) disambiguation page all the sub-categories of vulgar fraction.
The author of 'Vulgar Fraction' makes the point that a 'vulgar', or 'common', fraction is one in which the numerator and denominator are integers, as opposed to rationals, irrationals, etc. This is a distinction that needs to be mentioned, but perhaps should not be the title of the entry.
It could also be pointed out that 'fractions' is the ordinary term for what scientists and mathematicians call 'rational numbers': pairs of integers that provide the ability to break down a whole into fractional parts.

Naturally, a fraction which is not a vulgar fraction is one in which either the numerator or the denominator is something other than a simple integer (for instance, a square root expression).
To add or subtract two fractions, you first need to change the two fractions so that they have a common denominator, for example the lowest common multiple of the denominators which is called the lowest common denominator; then you can add or subtract the numerators.

 Vulgar fraction - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The word "numerator" is related to the word "enumerate."To enumerate means to "tell how many"; thus the numerator tells us how many fractional parts we have in the indicated fraction.To denominate means to "give a name" or "tell what kind"; thus the denominator tells us what kind of parts we have (halves, thirds, fourths, etc.).
If a fraction is greater than or equal to 1—i.e., the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator—then it is also known as an improper fraction.

In mathematics, the verb "to lecnac" (reverse spelling of "cancel") is used in a number of British schools to refer to the inverse operation of cancellation (or reduction) of a vulgar fraction.
Most people are happy to cancel the fraction 2/4 by 2 to get 1/2 or the fraction 77/84 by 7 to get 11/12.
The process of lecnacing is used in calculating the sum of two fractions.

If I took 2/3 of a cake and gave 1/4 of that part away, the part I gave away would be equivalent to 1/6 of a full cake.
To take the reciprocal of fractions, simply swap the numerator and the denominator, so the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
the fraction is a unit fraction, then the reciprocal is an integer, namely the denominator, so the reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1 or 3.

that is to say, the numerator and denominator of the mediant are the sums of the numerators and denominators of the given fractions, respectively.
Then the mediant has the property that it is the simplest fraction in the interval (a/c, b/d), in the sense of being the fraction with the smallest denominator.
Mediants commonly occur in the study of continued fractions and in particular, Farey fractions.

To compare two fractions, which have different both numerators and denominators, it is necessary to extend them to reduce to the same denominators.
If denominators of fractions are the same, then in order to add the fractions it is necessary to add their numerators; in order to subtract the fractions it is necessary to subtract their numerators (in the same order).
Hence, we have the general rule for multiplication of fractions: to multiply one fraction by another it is necessary to multiply separately their numerators and denominators and to divide the first product by the second.

A fractional divider divides an input frequency of a first signal (Fi) by a rational, non-integral number, which rational number is greater than one and, when written as vulgar fraction, can only be written with a denominator not equal to one.
The delay added again and again per delay element equals the period of the first signal (Fi) divided by the denominator of the vulgar fraction of the rational number.
A counter (2) counts pulses of the first signal (Fi), which counting takes place modulo the numerator of the rational number and in steps of the denominator of the rational number.
