Template:Fraction

¹⁄_x

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template builds nicer-looking common fractions. It takes one, two or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order.

{{fraction|1|2|3}}

1 ⅔ (integer, numerator and denominator)

{{fraction|2|3}}

⅔ (numerator and denominator)

{{fraction|3}}

⅓ (denominator only)

This template differs from {{frac}} in that it tries to use precomposed glyphs, but otherwise is identical to {{frac}}.

To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of {{frac}} and {{sort}}.

Notes

• ⁄ may be used to print out the fraction glyph " ⁄ "

• {{fraction}} (½), uses precomposed glyphs when possible, whose use is discouraged by MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH#Fractions.
• {{frac}} (¹⁄₂) displays common fractions using a fraction slash
• {{sfrac}} (1/2), displays common fractions using a vinculum, which is preferable for scientific and mathematical articles.
• {{1/2}}, {{1/3}}, {{2/3}}, {{1/4}}, {{3/4}}, shorthands
• {{Dec to frac}}
