The Egyptians used Egyptian fractions c. 1000 BC. About 4000 years ago, Egyptians divided with fractions using slightly different methods. They used least common multiples with unit fractions. Their methods gave the same answer as modern methods. 
The Greeks used unit fractions and continued fractions. Followers of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras (c. 530 BC) discovered that the square root of two cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers.]]> 2021-12-20 12:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956843164 iremyildis https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956844393 2021-12-20 12:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956844393 iremyildis https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956844774 2021-12-20 12:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956844774 iremyildis https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956847077 2021-12-20 12:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956847077 iremyildis https://padlet.com/iremyildis/vgxstr429q4mv4an/wish/1956854037 Proper fractions are the fractions in which the numerator is less than its denominator.
