Fractions can be classified based on whether they have the same denominator or not.
Two or more fractions that have the same denominator are called like fractions. For example, 38, 58, and 68 are all like fractions whose denominators are 8.
Integers such as 6, 11, and 43 are like fractions because they are considered to have a denominator of 1. Their fraction forms are 61, 111, and 431, respectively.
Fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions. For example, 28, 23, and 35 are unlike fractions. The denominators of these fractions are 8, 3, and 5, which are different from each other.
Fractions like 13, 26, and 39 are also unlike fractions, even though they all are equivalent to 13. This is because their denominators are different.
The diagram shows pies representing equivalent fractions. The fractions have the same value. However, they are unlike fractions because the pies are divided into different numbers of pieces.
