Unit Fractions

Unit fractions are fractions where the numerator, or the top number, is always one, making the denominator, or bottom number, the only determinant of the fraction's value. Examples include 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. They represent a single part of a whole divided into equal sections. Unit fractions are foundational in understanding fractions and can illustrate concepts like division or proportions. They also play a significant role in various fields, including mathematics, statistics, and even in everyday situations like sharing food or measuring ingredients in cooking.
