Template:Frac/doc

This template builds an alternative form of common fractions. It takes one, two or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order. Please don't substitute it. This template should not be used in mathematical articles, per MOS:MATH#Fractions.

{{frac|A|B|C}}

​A ^B⁄_C (integer, numerator and denominator)

<source lang=html4strict>A ^B⁄_C</source>

{{frac|A|B}}

​^A⁄_B (numerator and denominator)

<source lang=html4strict>^A⁄_B</source>

{{frac|A}}

​¹⁄_A (denominator only)

<source lang=html4strict>¹⁄_A</source>

Examples:

​¹⁄₂ ​¹⁄₃ ​²⁄₃ ​¹⁄₄ ​³⁄₄ ​¹⁄₅ ​²⁄₅ ​³⁄₅ ​⁴⁄₅ ​¹⁄₆ ​⁵⁄₆ ​¹⁄₇ ​²⁄₇ ​³⁄₇ ​⁴⁄₇ ​⁵⁄₇ ​⁶⁄₇ ​¹⁄₈ ​³⁄₈ ​⁵⁄₈ ​⁷⁄₈ ​¹⁄₁₆ ​³⁄₁₆ ​⁵⁄₁₆ ​⁷⁄₁₆ ​⁹⁄₁₆ ​¹¹⁄₁₆ ​¹³⁄₁₆ ​¹⁵⁄₁₆

​^m⁄_s ​^km⁄_h ​^kg·m⁄_s² ​¹⁄_s ​^Mbit⁄_s

To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{sort}}.
