A
fractional number is a number that is not a whole number but is a part of a whole. It represents a value that is less than 1 and is usually written as a ratio of two integers, with one number on top (numerator) and one number at the bottom (denominator), separated by a slash (/) or a line. It indicates a portion or a fraction of a whole thing.
