What is Fraction in Science ?

Fractions may have a value of less than one, as with 1/2, or equal to one, as with 2/2, or more than one, as with 3/2.

Like a moment our time

The top number of a fraction is the numerator and the bottom number is the denominator.

Now, this is where it becomes confusing. This could mean several different things:

although the Babylonians had a very sophisticated way of writing fractions

it did have its drawbacks. Around 311BC they devised a zero so this made things easier, but without a decimal point, it was still difficult to distinguish fractions from whole numbers.

We are now reaching the end of our journey through the history of fractions!

The format we know today comes directly from the work of the Indian civilisation.

The success of their way of writing fractions is due to the number system they created which has three main ideas

Each figure has a symbol which isn't like the value it represents

The value of the figure depends on the position of it within the entire number

A zero is needed to mean nothing and also to fill the place of units that are missing

By about 500AD, the Indians had developed a system from a way of writing called brahmi, which had nine symbols and a zero.

Again, this was devised a long time before some of the other ways of counting we have already discussed

However it was only through the trading of the Arabs that these Indian numerals were spread to Arabia where they were used in the same form.

The chart below shows how these brahmi symbols became the numbers we know today
