Fractions in Word?

Question

I know you can do fractions like 1/2 but how do you do 7/14th's?

Answer 1

1/2 and 1/4 are actual characters that exist in the standard fonts you use, which is why Word can convert them.

To do something like 7/14s, the best you can do is make the 7 a superscript, the / normal, and the 14 a subscript.

Answer 2

First of all, 7/14 is 1/2. But to answer your question, halfs, quarters and eighths (thirds?) are available in your extended character set (Insert, Symbol). For other fractions, just type the numerator, a slash, and the denominator without spaces. You may get a neater appearance (which may depend on the font) by superscripting the numerator, typing the slash normally and subscripting the denominator.

Answer 3

Type in 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 and autocomplete will convert them for you.

Also you could use the character map or Alt function.

Hold down the Alt key and type the following four numbers :-

Alt+0188 = ¼
Alt+0189 = ½
Alt+0190 = ¾

As for other fractions you'll unfortunately have to type out the text and then edit the text with superscript and subscript.

Answer 4

The only thing you're doing is indicating "division" by the use of the slash, " / ".
That's all a fraction is in realty.
1/5==1 divided by 5.
7/14==7 divided by 14.

As text, you are ok. 7/14ths. or just 7/14.=1/2
As,
"My expenses are 7/14 or 8/14 of my income."
