This template builds an alternative form of [[common fraction]]s. The template takes one, two, or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order. 

Please '''do not''' <code>subst:</code>itute it. This template should '''not''' be used in science or mathematical articles, per [[MOS:FRAC]] and [[MOS:MATH#Fractions]]; use {{tl|sfrac}} instead. To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use {{tl|sortfrac}} instead. It is a combination of this template and {{tl|sort}}.
;<code><nowiki>{{frac|A|B|C}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A|B|C}} (integer, numerator and denominator)
;<code><nowiki>{{frac|A|B}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A|B}} (numerator and denominator)
;<code><nowiki>{{frac|A}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac|A}} (denominator only)
;<code><nowiki>{{frac}}</nowiki></code>: {{frac}} (fraction slash only)

==Examples==
;Numbers: {{frac|2}} {{frac|3}} {{frac|2|3}} {{frac|4}} {{frac|3|4}} {{frac|5}} {{frac|2|5}} {{frac|3|5}} {{frac|4|5}} {{frac|6}} {{frac|5|6}} {{frac|7}} {{frac|2|7}} {{frac|3|7}} {{frac|4|7}} {{frac|5|7}} {{frac|6|7}} {{frac|8}} {{frac|3|8}} {{frac|5|8}} {{frac|7|8}} {{frac|16}} {{frac|3|16}} {{frac|5|16}} {{frac|7|16}} {{frac|9|16}} {{frac|11|16}} {{frac|13|16}} {{frac|15|16}}
;Units: {{frac|m|s}} {{frac|km|h}} {{frac|kg·m|s²}} {{frac|s}} {{frac|Mbit|s}}

==Notes==
*<code><nowiki>{{frac}}</nowiki></code> or <code>&amp;frasl;</code> may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " &frasl; ".
