What is the difference between ancient Egyptian fractions and modern fractions?

Ancient Egyptian fractions are a system that only used unit fractions, which are fractions with a numerator of one, such as 1/2, 1/3, and so on. They represented all other fractions as sums of these unit fractions, often resulting in unique and sometimes lengthy expressions. In contrast, modern fractions can have any integer as the numerator and denominator, allowing for more straightforward representations and calculations. This difference reflects a significant evolution in mathematical notation and understanding over time.
