How old are fractions?

Hi. I'm Caroline. We've been studying fractions lately. I wonder how old fractions are. Maybe you know, what year were fractions first used?

Challenge: So how old are fractions? (How many years have we been using them?)

Challenge Challenge: Who created them or where were they first used?

  1. We've been using them for 4811 years.
    Al-Hassār from Fez, Morocco created fractions.
