A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator (in absolute value). That means its value has magnitude less than 1.
Examples
- 3/5, 7/10, and −2/3 are proper fractions (|3|<5, |7|<10, |−2|<3).
- 1/4 is a unit fraction (a proper fraction with numerator 1).
- 5/3 and 8/8 are improper (numerator ≥ denominator); they can be written as mixed numbers (5/3 = 1 2/3).
