A comprehensive guide to working with fractions, covering fundamental operations and comparisons. This essential mathematical resource explains simplificación y amplificación de fracciones, comparación de fracciones mediante m.c.m., and suma y resta de fracciones con distinto denominador.
• Fractions are expressions representing parts of a whole, with a numerator and denominator
• Equivalent fractions can be obtained through amplification or simplification
• Operations with fractions include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• The least common multiple (LCM) is crucial for comparing and operating fractions with different denominators
• Irreducible fractions represent the simplest form of a fraction
