Like fractions are fractions with the same denominator.

Example:

$\frac{1}{8}, \frac{2}{8}, \frac{3}{8}$

For fractions with the same denominator, the fraction with the greatest numerator will be the largest fraction.

Example:

Find the largest fraction among

$\frac{1}{8}, \frac{2}{8}, \frac{3}{8}$

All the fractions have the same denominator

$8$ so, they are like fractions.

Ordering the above numbers will result in

$\frac{1}{8} < \frac{2}{8} < \frac{3}{8}$

Among the numerators,

$3$ is the greatest and hence

$3/8$ is the largest fraction.
