Are all fractions nonzero numbers?
Yes.
with the exception of those with a zero numerator
0/3 = 0/21 = 0
Ok, thank you both. :)
No, not all fractions are nonzero numbers. A fraction is a mathematical expression representing the division of two numbers, a numerator and a denominator.
The numerator represents the number of parts we have, and the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up a whole.
When the numerator is zero, the fraction becomes zero, regardless of the denominator. For example, 0/5 is equal to 0, 0/10 is equal to 0, and so on. These fractions are called zero fractions.
However, when the numerator is nonzero and the denominator is zero, the fraction becomes undefined. Division by zero is mathematically undefined and does not have a meaningful value. For example, 7/0 or 3/0 are undefined fractions.
Therefore, while zero fractions exist, fractions with a nonzero numerator and a zero denominator are undefined.
