Template:Documentation subpage Template:Uses TemplateStyles This template builds an alternative form of common fractions. The template takes one, two, or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order.

Please do not subst:itute it.

{{fraction|A|B|C}}

A+B⁄C (integer, numerator and denominator)

{{fraction|B|C}}

B⁄C (numerator and denominator)

{{fraction|C}}

1⁄C (denominator only)

{{fraction}}

⁄ (fraction slash only)

Examples

Numbers

1⁄2 1⁄3 2⁄3 1⁄4 3⁄4 1⁄5 2⁄5 3⁄5 4⁄5 1⁄6 5⁄6 1⁄7 2⁄7 3⁄7 4⁄7 5⁄7 6⁄7 1⁄8 3⁄8 5⁄8 7⁄8 1⁄16 3⁄16 5⁄16 7⁄16 9⁄16 11⁄16 13⁄16 15⁄16

Units

m⁄s km⁄h kg·m⁄s² 1⁄s Mbit⁄s

Notes

• {{fraction}} or ⁄ may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " ⁄ ".
• For mixed fractions, in some contexts (like link targets) a "+" is generated between the whole number part and fraction part. If this is not desirable, put the whole number part outside the template, and put a non-breaking space between when the spacing is desirable. For example: "33 {{frac|1|3}}".

Parameters

A template for displaying common fractions of the form int+num/den nicely. It supports 0–3 anonymous parameters with positional meaning.
