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+BC (integer, numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|A|B}}
AB (numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|A}}
1A (denominator only)
{{fraction}}
(fraction slash only)

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

ParameterDescriptionTypeStatus
leftmost part1

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.

Lineoptional
middle-right part2

Denominator if 2 parameters supplied. Numerator if 3 parameters supplied.

Lineoptional
rightmost part3

Denominator, always.
