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 also not be used in certain situations; see MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH § Fractions. For science or mathematical articles, 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|B|C}}- B⁄C (numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|C}}- 1⁄C (denominator only)
{{fraction}}- ⁄ (fraction slash only)

Notes
{{fraction}}or⁄may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " ⁄ ".- For mixed fractions, in some contexts (like link targets) a "+" is generated between the whole number part and fraction part. If this is not desirable, put the whole number part outside the template, and put a non-breaking space between when the spacing is desirable. For example: "33 {{frac|1|3}}".
Parameters
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.
| 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 |
