In early Egyptian and Greek mathematics, unit fractions were generally the only ones present. This meant that the only numerator they could use was the number 1. The notation was a mark above or to the right of a number to indicate that it was the denominator of the number 1. The Romans used a system of words indicating parts of a whole. A unit of weight in ancient Rome was the as, which was made of 12 uncias. It was from this that the Romans derived a fraction system based on the number 12. For example, 1/12 was uncia, and thus 11/12 was indicated by deunx (for de uncia) or 1/12 taken away. Other fractions were indicated as : 10/12 dextans (for de sextans),
3/12 quadrans (for quadran as)
9/12 dodrans (for de quadrans),
2/12 or 1/6 sextans (for sextan as)
8/12 bes (for bi as) also duae partes (2/3)
1/24 semuncia (for semi uncia)
7/12 septunx (for septem unciae)
1/48 sicilicus
6/12 or 1/2 semis (for semi as)
1/72 scriptulum
5/12 quincunx (for quinque unciae)
1/144 scripulum
4/12 or 1/3 triens (for trien as)
1/288 scrupulum

Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
There are three types of fractions that are used in mathematics. The three types of fractions are, mixed fractions, proper fractions, and improper fractions.
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.
