'three out of four' or 'three of four'

[Radells]

Hello, I'm learning English and I have a question.
What's the difference between 'three out of four' and 'three of four'?

Thank you in advance for your reply

The meaning is the same.

You had the same phrase twice in your title. I have edited your title to reflect both phrases you're asking about.

Hello,

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
In future, try to write a sentence (or at least, give us some context) when you'd like clarification about something.

For example:
"I completed 3 of the 5 exercises" and "I completed 3 out of the 5 exercises".
What's the difference?

The meaning is the same, as has been indicated by @Skrej above.
Note, however, that when referring to numbers (quantities) ten and under, we tend to use words rather than numerals.

The difference lies in usage more than meaning. There will be cases where one phrase is more appropriate than the other, so it's vital that you provide context for us.

For example:
"I completed 3 of the 5 exercises" and "I completed 3 out of the 5 exercises".
What's the difference?

Use the former here.

I think of three out of four as being a score - I attempted 4 and got 3 right (as in Meatloaf's 2 out of 3 ain't bad!). There is very little difference in reality, however in song lyrics and/or poetry go with the one that scans better!

Do you spell that word the way you pronounce it?

Sorry corrected to think. “Tink” normally indicates an Irish stereotype fake accent - so not politically correct!

As with BrE there isn't a single "Irish" accent.
