How to write fraction in non-italic format in latex?

Question

I am writing fractions using the \frac command, but it returns italicized fractions. How to write fractions in non-italic format in latex?

Answer 1

You need to typeset the text-only fraction by using the \text command of the amsmath package. The \text command will return fractions in non-italic format.

Here is an example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\[\frac{\text{number 1}}{\text{number 2}}\]

\end{document}
