What is an improper fraction?

[Alice]

I’m confused about fractions where the numerator is larger than the denominator. Can someone explain improper fractions and how to work with them?

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. This means the value of the fraction is equal to or greater than one.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator. It represents a value equal to or greater than one.
Examples include 74\frac {7} {4}47, 99\frac{9} {9} 99, and 125\frac{12} {5} 512. It can be converted to a mixed number.
