A proper fraction's numerator (top number) is smaller than the denominator (bottom number). Some examples are 1/2, 4/7, 3/4, 8/11. To find a proper fraction, look at the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number).
There are two other types of fractions: improper fractions and mixed numbers:
Improper fractions are those in which the numerator is the same or larger than the denominator. Examples are 14/7, 20/10, 11/4, 4/4, 3/2, etc. Improper fraction will always result in whole or mixed numbers when the numerator is divided by the denominator.
Mixed fractions have a whole number and a fraction. Some examples are 5 1/2, 6 7/8, 14 1/4, and 1 1/7.
