An improper fraction would be defined as a fraction for which the numerator (the number on top) is larger than the denominator (the number on the bottom). So, the numerator will have a certain number of multiples of the denominator; for example, if the denominator is 3 then the fraction is a certain number of thirds, and for every 3 thirds, you can convert that to the number one. So 3/3 is 1, 6/3 is two, 9/3 is 3. 12/3 is 4 and so forth. If the denominator is 5, then you have fifths, and each five of them is a number one, so 5/5 is 1, 10/5 is two, 15/5 is three, etc.
So after you subtract the multiples of the denominator, you may have some number left which is still a fraction. For example if you have 10/3, you can subtract the 9/3 which is equal to 3, and you still have 1/3 left. Therefore, 10/3 equals 3 and a third.
