LaTeX is a typesetting software used for creating high-quality documents, particularly in the fields of mathematics, science, and academia. It uses a markup language to format text, making it easier to create professional-looking documents with complex equations and symbols.
To write fractions in LaTeX, you can use the \frac command followed by the numerator and denominator within curly braces. For example, \frac{5}{15} will display the fraction 5/15.
To display a mixed number in LaTeX, you can use the \dfrac command followed by the whole number, numerator, and denominator within curly braces. For example, \dfrac{1}{2} will display the mixed number 1 1/2.
Yes, you can change the formatting of fractions in LaTeX by using different commands such as \tfrac for a smaller fraction or \cfrac for a larger fraction. You can also change the appearance of the fraction line by using the \genfrac command.
To align fractions in LaTeX, you can use the align environment and the & symbol to specify where you want the fractions to be aligned. For example, \begin{align} \frac{1}{2} &+ \frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{3}{4} \end{align} will display two fractions aligned at the equal sign.
