What algebraic fractions are

Worked example showing an algebraic fraction factorised from (x^2+6x)/(x^2+8x+12) to x(x+6)/((x+2)(x+6)) and then simplified to x/(x+2), with the common factor x+6 highlighted

An algebraic fraction is a fraction whose numerator, denominator, or both contain algebra. The top is called the numerator and the bottom is called the denominator.
