See a fraction as a whole number multiplied by the unit fraction with the same denominator. All fractions are a composition of their unit fraction. Unit fractions, or fractions with a numerator of 1, are formed by partitioning a whole into equal parts and taking one part. Unit fractions are the basic building block of all fractions.
