Template:Fraction/doc

Kufuma Wikipedia

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 not be used in science or mathematical articles, per and ; 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+BC (integer, numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|A|B}}
AB (numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|A}}
1A (denominator only)
{{fraction}}
(fraction slash only)
