$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{4}=$

Sep 27, 2013the title says it all, both \dfrac {a} {b} and \frac {a} {b} make fractions, so what is the difference between the two? \frac is a latex-only command that builds on the \over macro to provide something that's much less likely. Oct 8, 2010i am wondering how to make a fraction in latex small enough to fit on a line, or at least just a little larger.

${ \frac{\fam0 a}{b} }$ for my purposes, should such an issue arise, it is easily resolved by using \frac and so, while this example illustrates a shortcoming of \over and the need for something more robust, it. $8 \int_0^ {\infty} du \frac { (u^2-1) (u^4-6 u^2+1)} {u^8+4 u^6+70 u^4+4 u^2+1} \log {u}$ from which i. Should one use \frac or /?

If you think that / should be used, at what point is the fraction "large enough" that one should switch to using \frac? Fractions in subscript and superscript (e.g. It is nearly always best to use the slashed form for fractions in the text:

Oct 30, 2010888 as i have heard people did not trust euler when he first discovered the formula (solution of the basel problem) $\zeta (2)=\sum_ {k=1}^\infty \frac {1} {k^2}=\frac {\pi^2} {6}$. Your question is basically about mathjax usage in websites (such as math.se), but fortunately, \frac or \dfrac command (for 'better' fractions) work with mathjax Dec 8, 2016often it looks better to use \tfrac if you are just wanting a numeric fraction as part of an expression, when the display fraction can look a bit spacey.

Conversely if the fraction is already a.
