Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, so sorry if I'm wrong. Can somebody give me the definition of/an example of a vulgar fraction, in a hurry if that's possible?

A fraction that, if you turn it into binary, spells a swear word.

Simple or Vulgar Fraction e.g:[ 3/4 ]
A number expressed with numerator and denominator. Say I have 3 of 10 apples then I will express it as 3/10. The total is written below a horizontal or diagonal line, and the number of parts comprising the fraction (numerator) is written above. Such fractions are called vulgar fractions or simple fractions.

all that from memory

A vulgar fraction (or common fraction) is a rational number written as one integer (the numerator) divided by a non-zero integer (the denominator).

Thank you all. The last time I did maths was in the 19th century so you've all helped.

That must have been before fractions were invented.
