fractional
Less than complete
Fractional means consisting of or relating to a fraction—a part of a whole rather than a complete unit.
A fractional share of stock is less than one full share.
Fractional ownership divides property among multiple parties.
The word often emphasizes smallness: a fractional improvement, fractional differences.
In mathematics, fractional specifically involves numerical fractions or non-integer values.
