∙ 2010-08-09 12:29:54It can be either. It is the number at the top of a fraction.
A vulgar fraction is one where the numerator (the number on the top) is bigger than the denominator (the number at the bottom).
the numerator is the top number and the denominator is the lower number. If they get switched it can change the entire value of the fraction.
an improper fraction is a fraction is were the numerator (top number) is bigger than the denominator (bottom number) e.g. 8/2
an improper fraction is a fraction that the top number (numerator) is bigger than the bottom one (denominator)
you divide the numerator by the denominator
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)
Yes, you can. You will have an improper fraction, but that is OK.
If the numerator (the number at the top of the fraction) is bigger than the denominator (the number at the bottom), then the fraction is more than 1.
because the denominator is a bigger number so it is called improper because the denominator is a bigger number so it is called improper
By dividing the denominator into the numerator
Multiply (or divide) the numerator and the denominator both by the same number.
