subfractions
Fractions within fractions
Subfractions are fractions of fractions—smaller divisions created by breaking down an already fractional amount.
If you divide a quarter into thirds, each piece is a subfraction of the original whole.
The term appears in technical contexts like chemistry, finance, and data analysis where precise subdivision of quantities matters.
The blood sample was separated into subfractions for different tests.
