Three types of fraction:

A proper fraction - #2/3, 5,12# where the numerator is smaller than the denominator

An improper or top heavy - #13/3, 7/5# where the numerator is larger than the denominator

A mixed fraction - #6 1/3, 18 2/9# whole number(s) and a fraction together.

You can switch from an improper fraction to a mixed number and vice versa.
