This template has a corresponding Lua module Module:Simplified fraction, but does not invoke its functions.
This template invokes the following functions: simfrac from Reduced fraction.

This template is for creating fractions that are automatically made into their simplest form. It is recommended to use this template in tables instead of {{frac}} to prevent unwanted horizontal page scrolling on mobile (possibly due to a bug with how MediaWiki handles that specific style of fraction in one or more specific situations).

There are 3 parameters:

  • n: the numerator
  • d: the denominator
  • mixed: whether the fraction is mixed or not if it's more than 1

Examples

{{Simplified fraction|16|15|false}}

16⁄15


{{Simplified fraction|8|15|true}}

8⁄15


{{Simplified fraction|24|15|false}}

8⁄5


{{Simplified fraction|44|14|true}}

3 1⁄7


{{Simplified fraction|75|15|false}}

5


{{Simplified fraction|100|5|true}}
