A fraction (from Latin: fractus, "broken") represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters. A fraction consists of an integer numerator, displayed above a line (or before a slash) and a non-zero integer denominator, displayed below (or after) that line. If these integers are positive, then the numerator represents a number of equal parts, and the denominator indicates how many of those parts make up a unit or a whole. And a decimal is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers and a decimal may also refer specifically to the digits after the decimal separator and is located between the ones and the tenths place
