Here you will find some simple information and advice about Fraction of a Whole Number.
At the bottom of this page you will also find two printable resource sheets which explain about how to calculate fractions in a little more detail.
Before you start learning to calculate fractions of numbers, you should be able to work out fractions of shapes.
How to find a fraction of a whole number
Here are the two easy steps for finding the fraction of a number:
Step 1 - Find the unit fraction by dividing the number by the denominator
Step 2 - Multiply by the numerator .
You should have now found your fraction of a number!
PLEASE NOTE:
Finding a fraction of a whole number is the same as multiplying the fraction by the whole number.
In other words:
\[ {4 \over 5} \; of \; 30 \; is \; the \; same \; as \; {4 \over 5} \times 30 \]
Example 1) \[ Find \; {5 \over 6} \; of \; 24 \]
A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is equal to 1.
To find the unit fraction of a number, you need to divide the number by the denominator.
This gives us: \[ {1 \over 6} \; of \; 24 \; = \; 24 ÷ 6 \; = \; 4 \]
To find five-sixths, we need to multiply our answer by the numerator which is 5.
So \[ {5 \over 6} \; of \; 24 = ({1 \over 6} \; of \; 24) \times 5 = 4 \times 5 = 20 \]
Example 2) \[ Find \; {3 \over 7} \; of \; 35\]
To find the unit fraction, we need to divide the number by the denominator.
This gives us: \[ {1 \over 7} \; of \; 35 \; = \; 35 ÷ 7 \; = \; 5 \]
To find three-sevenths, we need to multiply our answer by the numerator which is 3.
So \[ {3 \over 7} \; of \; 35 = ({1 \over 7} \; of \; 35) \times 3 = 5 \times 3 = 15 \]
Example 3) \[ Find \; {3 \over 10} \; of \; $230\]
This gives us: \[ {1 \over 10} \; of \; $230 = $230 ÷ 10 = $23 \]
To find three-tenths, we need to multiply our answer by the numerator which is 3.
So \[ {3 \over 10} \; of \; $230 = ({1 \over 10} \; of \; $230) \times 3 \] and \[ ({1 \over 10} \; of \; $230) \times 3 = $23 \times 3 = $69 \]
Final answer \[ {3 \over 10} \; of \; $230 \; = \; $69 \]
How to calculate fractions - the algebra...
For those of you who like to see things in Algebra...this is what it looks like
If we want to work out: \[ {a \over b} \; of \; a \; number \; n \]
First we work out: \[ {1 \over b} \; of \; n = {n \over b} \; \; or \; n ÷ b \]
Next we need to multiply this by the numerator a.
This gives us: \[ {a \over b} \; of \; n = {n \over b} \times a = {na \over b} \; \; or \; na ÷ b \]

Fractions Of Amounts
Here we will learn about fractions of amounts . There are also fractions worksheets, fraction activity sheets and fraction word problems (with answer sheets) based on Edexcel, AQA and OCR exam questions, along with further guidance on where to go next if you’re still stuck.
What are fractions of amounts?
Fractions of amounts is the skill of finding a given fraction of a certain amount.
As we are asked to work out three quarters of 36 , let’s start by working out one quarter:
So to work out three quarters we multiply this by 3 :
You can visualise this using a bar model.
Finding a fraction of a number is the same as multiplying a fraction by a number.
\frac{2}{5} of 20 is the same as \frac{2}{5} \times 20
Therefore we could calculate the answer using this method instead.
\frac{2}{5} of 20 = \frac{2}{5} \times 20 = \frac{2 \times 20}{5} = \frac{40}{5} = 8
We can find fractions of a quantity including integers (whole numbers), decimals and fractions. When calculating a fraction of a quantity you can use either the method shown in E.g. 1 or E.g. 2 but sometimes one method will be easier to apply than the other.
Find \frac{5}{6} of 0.4
\frac{5}{6} of 0.4 = \frac{5}{6} \times 0.4 = \frac{5 \times 0.4}{6} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
One amount as a fraction of another
Sometimes it is helpful to express an amount of one thing as a fraction of the entire thing.
For example;
A shop sells rolls of ribbon. A full roll has 7 metres of ribbon on it. Sabastian buys 35 centimetres of ribbon. Express the length of Sabastian’s piece of ribbon as a fraction of a full roll of ribbon.
7 metres = 700 cm.
The fraction would therefore be \frac{35}{700}
This can simplify \frac{35 \div 7}{700 \div 7}=\frac{1}{20}
Therefore Sebastian has one twentieth of a full roll of ribbon.
Sometimes it is helpful to express a value as a fraction of another amount. This can then show the proportion of that value in comparison to the other amount.
For example,
Ivan has 3 pens in his school bag.
Jessica has 24 pens in her school bag.
Express the number of pens Ivan has as a fraction of the amount of pens Jessica has.
Ivan has 3 pens compared to Jessica’s 24 pens. As a fraction this is \frac{3}{24}
This can simplify
This fraction shows that Ivan has an eighth as many pens as Jessica.

Fractions of amounts examples
Example 1: unit fractions of amounts.
Multiply the fraction and the amount .
The “of” means that we multiply the fraction and the amount.
You divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction.
2 Write the final answer .
The final answer is 8 .
Example 2: unit fractions of amounts
Write the final answer .
The final answer is 4 .
Example 3: non-unit fractions
Alternatively, you could split the calculation into two parts. First divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction to find one quarter of 20 . Then, multiply by the numerator (top number):
The final answer is 15 .
Example 4: non-unit fractions
Alternatively, you could split the calculation into two parts. First divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction. Then multiply by the numerator (top number):
The final answer is 6 .
Example 5: calculator allowed
Alternatively, you could split the sum into two parts. First divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction. Then, multiply by the numerator (top number):
The final answer is 37.2 kg .
Example 6: calculator allowed
Alternatively, you could split the sum into two parts. First divide the amount by the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction. Then multiply by the numerator (top number):
The final answer is 94.5 km .
Common misconceptions
- Not writing money with two decimal places
If the answer to a question involving money is a decimal and the units are £ you need 2 digits after the decimal point for the pence. E.g.
The final answer £1.40
- Not fully answering the question
A common error is to

Fraction of Amount
Example 1: Find 1 ⁄ 4 of 12.
To find one quarter we need to split our amount into 4 equal parts.
12 ÷ 4 = 3
Each part is worth 3, so 1 ⁄ 4 of 12 = 3
Example 2: Find 1 ⁄ 5 of 30.
To find one fifth we need to split our amount into 5 equal parts.
30 ÷ 5 = 6
Each part is worth 6, so 1 ⁄ 5 of 30 = 6
Example 3: Find 3 ⁄ 4 of 28.
We start by splitting 28 into 4 equal parts.
28 ÷ 4 = 7
Each quarter is worth 7. We want 3 ⁄ 4
We need to calculate 3 × 7. 3 × 7 = 21 3 ⁄ 4 of 28 = 21
Example 4: Find 2 ⁄ 5 of 40.
We start by splitting 40 into 5 equal parts.
40 ÷ 5 = 8
Each fifth is worth 8. We want 2 ⁄ 5
We need to calculate 2 × 8. 2 × 8 = 16 2 ⁄ 5 of 40 = 16

An activity that gets students to practise finding fractions of amounts, which also introduces an element of problem solving.
Students create their own questions. They pick a numerator, pick a denominator, and work out that fraction of the large number at the top of the screen. They’re aiming to create calculations with the given answers on the screen. Some students might pick their fractions completely at random, whereas others may approach things a bit more logically…
There are 6 different activities, with varying degrees of difficulty. Some answers can be made via more than one calculation, but I’ve made a suggestion on how to complete each problem.

A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is equal to 1. To find the unit fraction of a number, you need to divide the number by the denominator. This gives us: 1 6 o f 24 = 24 ÷ 6 = 4. Step 2) To find five-sixths, we need to multiply our answer by the numerator which is 5. So 5 6 o f 24 = ( 1 6 o f 24) × 5 = 4 × 5 = 20.
