Non-fractional

Non-fractional

A "Non-Fractional" number is simply a number that isn't normally written as a fraction, the most common example being whole numbers.

eg. frac{1}{1} can just be written in its simpler form: 1

This may not necessarily include decimals, but if they are written in their decimal form they are considered as being "non-fractional".

eg. 0.5 can be written as frac{1}{2} but in decimal form would be considered "non-fractional".
