What is the formal definition of fraction?
Everyone says something different.
Thank you for your answers.
Yes, in abstract algebra the concept of localization provides a formal definition of a fraction. In short a fraction is an ordered pair $(a,b)$ (usually expressed $\frac{a}{b}$), along with the equivalence $(a,b) = (c,d)$ if $ad=bc$.
