Who were the first people to use fractions?

The first known use of fractions dates back to ancient civilizations, particularly the Egyptians and Babylonians around 3000 to 2000 BCE. The Egyptians used a system of unit fractions, represented by symbols, for various practical applications, such as in trade and construction. The Babylonians, on the other hand, utilized a base-60 system that allowed for more complex fraction calculations. These early uses laid the foundation for the development of fractional concepts in mathematics.


Is it true that ancient Egyptians thought that all fractions could be written as unit fractions?

No. They thought that all fractions could be expressed as combinations of unit fractions. They and other ancients may have thought that any fraction could be wretten as a combination of unit fractions, but according to wikipedia they (ancient Egyptians) had special symbols for 2/3 and 3/4 and even had a papyrus used by scribes that listed the equivalents for 2/n, so they did not always write fractions as this combination of unit fractions. Does your question mean a combination of unit fractions, or as a unit fraction?
