Home / 7th grade / Number / Fractions / Identify improper fractions
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the number on the top) is greater than or equal to the denominator. Another name for improper fraction is top-heavy fraction.
An improper fraction like 3/2 can be converted to a mixed fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator and expressing the remainder as a fraction. Converting the improper fraction 5/2 to a mixed fraction gives 2½.
A mixed fraction like 1½ can be converted to an improper fraction. To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator of the fraction part by the whole number, then add the numerator. Put the total over the denominator to create the improper fraction. Converting the mixed fraction 1½ to an improper fraction gives:
(2 x 1) + 1 / 2 = 3/2 (three over two).
