Quick Summary

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is equal to, larger than, or of equal or higher degree than the denominator. For example, in the fraction 5/3, 5 is the numerator and 3 is the denominator. Since 5 is larger than 3, 5/3 is an improper fraction. Improper fractions can also be expressed as mixed numbers, which consist of a whole number and a proper fraction.12
