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.
