This is a documentation subpage for Template:Fraction.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Fraction/styles.css (sandbox)

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 MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH § Fractions; 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|A|B}}: A⁄B (numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|A}}: 1⁄A (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 &frasl; may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " ⁄ ".

Parameters

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Fraction in articles based on its TemplateData.

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.

Template parameters
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
