♦ Both the definitions are same with different sentence formation. So any definition we can give for vulgar fraction.

Ex:

$\frac { 8 }{ 9 }$, $\frac { 7 }{ 13 }$, $\frac { 99 }{ 42 }$, $\frac { 117 }{ 123 }$ … are examples of vulgar fraction. In all these examples, the denominator is not 10 or 100 or 1000 or 10000 or…………….etc.

$\frac { 3 }{ 100 }$ and $\frac { 24 }{ 10 }$ are not vulgar fractions because it is not satisfying vulgar fraction definition
