How many equal parts of a whole
Slice a pizza, and we get fractions:
1/2 | 1/4 | 3/8 |
(One-Quarter) |
The top number says how many slices we have.
The bottom number says how many equal slices the whole pizza was cut into.
Effectively vacuums up to 2 cubic ft/min of spoils including dirt, sand, gravel, small rocks, and muck. Designed to run off a standard, 185 cfm tow-behind air compressor, the AirVac features a powerful multi-stage venturi vacuum engine with no motors or moving parts to wear out. Tank capacity of 11 cubic ft. (82 gallons) with an extra-wide dump. In the first two releases of VLC 2.1.x, AirPlay wasn't working like it's supposed to. I even recommended to stay on 2.0.8 if you wanted to use AirVLC. With the recent release of version 2.1.3 all problems seem to have been fixed and AirVLC is compatible out of the box! You can update VLC from within the app, or through their website.

- Jun 24, 2016 Version 1.1.2: Updated the update framework. Switched to using HTTPS all through the update. Updated the project in general. Note: AirVLC is now compatible with OS X 10.7 and up. Use one of the previous releases if you're on OS X Snow Leopard. OS X 10.6 or later, 64-bit processor Screenshots.

Equivalent Fractions
Some fractions may look different, but are really the same, for example:
4/8 | = | 2/4 | = | 1/2 |
(Four-Eighths) | (Two-Quarters) | (One-Half) | ||
= | = |
It is usually best to show an answer using the simplest fraction ( 1/2 in this case ). That is called Simplifying, or Reducing the Fraction
Numerator / Denominator
1 1/2 As A Decimal
We call the top number the Numerator, it is the number of parts we have.
We call the bottom number the Denominator, it is the number of parts the whole is divided into.

You just have to remember those names! (If you forget just think 'Down'-ominator)
Adding Fractions
It is easy to add fractions with the same denominator (same bottom number):
1/4 | + | 1/4 | = | 2/4 | = | 1/2 |
(One-Quarter) | (One-Quarter) | (Two-Quarters) | (One-Half) | |||
+ | = | = |
Another example:
5/8 | + | 1/8 | = | 6/8 | = | 3/4 |
+ | = | = |
Adding Fractions with Different Denominators
But what about when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are not the same?
3/8 | + | 1/4 | = | ? |
+ | = |
We must somehow make the denominators the same.
In this case it is easy, because we know that 1/4 is the same as 2/8 :
3/8 | + | 2/8 | = | 5/8 |
+ | = |
There are two popular methods to make the denominators the same:
- Least Common Denominator, or
(They both work nicely, use the one you prefer.)

AirPlay is a delightful protocol to stream audio for audiophiles; it favors audio quality over real-time output. This makes it great for music and worthless for anything that synchronizes video with the audio, like videos.
AirVLC compensated for this by playing the video in VLC and outputing the audio over AirPlay with the proper delay.
Downloading AirVLC
If you've purchased a license to AirVLC before, you might be interested in downloading the latest version.
Remember that new licenses can't be bought and support is limited.
