What is an Improper Fraction?
An improper fraction has a numerator that is larger than its denominator.
13/4 is an improper fraction. It needs to be converted into a proper fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 13 ÷ 4
It would become 3¼.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. It is called "improper" because it does not follow the traditional format of a whole number followed by a fraction.
To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number or a proper fraction, you divide the numerator by the denominator.
For example, let's take the fraction 13/4. To convert it into a mixed number or a proper fraction, you divide 13 by 4. The quotient would be 3 with a remainder of 1. So the mixed number or proper fraction representation of 13/4 is 3 1/4.
