As for fractions, 'r' was used for the word 'part'. This means that r-10
is equivalent to our 1/10.
The Egyptian sign 'gs' was used for the word 'side' or 'half' ½. The word 'hsb'
meant 'fraction', but it came to mean 'part-4' or ¼. 'rwy'
meant 'two parts out of three' 2/3, and 'khmt rw'
, though rare, was 'three parts out of four' 3/4.
