Yes. Fractions indicate an integral number of equal integral divisions. When the numerator (top part) is larger than the denominator (bottom part), the value is greater than one, and it represents one or more integral numbers and possibly additional parts of a whole.

Example : 1/2 is one of two equal parts (halves) of a single whole

Example : 2/3 is two of three equal divisions of a single whole

Example : 5/4 is equivalent to five parts, each of which is one-fourth of a whole

(it can be represented as 1 1/4)

Example : 8/4 is equal to eight quarters (eight fourths) which is equal to 2.
