The three types of fractions are :
1.Proper fraction
2.Improper fraction
3.Mixed fraction
Proper fraction:
Fractions whose numerators are less than the denominators are called proper fractions. (Numerator < denominator)
For examples:
2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 2/9, 5/8, 2/5.
Fractions with the numerator either equal to or greater than the denominator are called improper fraction. (Numerator = denominator or, Numerator > denominator)
Improper fractions:
The fractions like 5/4, 17/5, 52/2 etc. are not proper fractions. These are improper fractions. The fraction 77/7is an improper fraction.
The fractions 54/4, 32/2, 83/3, 65/5, 103/3, 13/3, 154/4 are the examples of improper fractions. The top number (numerator) is greater than the bottom number (denominator). Such type of fraction is called improper fraction.
Mixed fraction:
A combination of a proper fraction and a whole number is called a mixed fraction.
A mixed fraction may always be converted into an improper fraction.
Multiply the natural number by the denominator and add to the numerator. This new numerator over the denominator is the required fraction.
