==**Egyptian fractions were typically written in terms of unit fractions, that is, fractions with a numerator of 1. With the exception of a few common, simple fractions like 2/3, non-unit fractions were decomposed into sums of distinct unit fractions. In other words, fractions that didn't have a 1 in the numerator could be rewritten as a sum of specific unit fractions (fractions with a numerator of 1). Look at the examples below.**==
