Type the fraction using the LaTeX format: \frac{1}{2}.
Click Done to confirm and close the equation editor.
Your fraction is now added to your Notion page as a rendered equation.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's equation block lets users insert properly formatted fractions and mathematical expressions directly inside any page using LaTeX syntax — no external tools required. This makes Notion a practical workspace for students, educators, and professionals who need to display math alongside their notes, documents, or project plans. The /equation command is fast to trigger and instantly renders fractions like \frac{1}{2} into clean, readable math notation. Understanding this feature unlocks richer document formatting without leaving the Notion environment.
