One half is the irreducible fraction resulting from dividing one by two (½), or any number by its double; multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two. It is the fraction occurring most often[citation needed] in mathematical equations, recipes, measurements, etc. Half can also be said to be one part of something divided into two equal parts. |
