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. This template should also not be used in certain situations; see MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH § Fractions. For science or mathematical articles, use {{sfrac}} instead. To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use data-sort-value="X.YYY" where X.YYY is a rounded decimal equivalent. See Help:Sorting for more information and options. Inside citation templates, use the cleaner {{citefrac}}.
{{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[edit]
- 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[edit]
{{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[edit]
TemplateData for Fraction
A template for displaying common fractions of the form int+num/den nicely. It supports 0–3 anonymous parameters with positional meaning.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| leftmost part | 1 | Denominator if only parameter supplied. Numerator if 2 parameters supplied. Integer if 3 parameters supplied. If no parameter is specified the template will render a fraction slash only. | Line | optional |
| middle-right part | 2 | Denominator if 2 parameters supplied. Numerator if 3 parameters supplied. | Line | optional |
| rightmost part | 3 | Denominator, always. | Line | optional |
