fractions
Parts of wholes
Fractions are parts of a whole, expressed as one number divided by another: three-quarters, one-half, two-fifths.
In math, the top number (numerator) sits over the bottom (denominator), separated by a line.
Fraction extends to any small portion: Only a fraction of applicants get accepted.
