what is an improper fraction

An improper fraction is a type of fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. In other words, it is a fraction where the top number is greater than or equal to the bottom number. For example, 8/2 is an improper fraction because 8 is greater than 2. Improper fractions can be converted to mixed numbers, which are a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.
