Fractions are a representation of rational numbers, a fraction is of the form n/d where n,d are integers, each fraction represents one rational number. ( although more than one fraction could represent the same rational number - 1/4 and 2/8 are the same rational number). read more

A fraction which evaluates to a rational expression is defined by an expression that can be expressed as fraction of two integer values. read more
