what ever fraction has a bigger denominator- the bottom number- is closer to zero. for example, 1/4 is closer to zero than 1/3 because when you divide a Pizza by 4, you get less pizza each than if you divide it by 3 people.

How can you tell if the improper fraction is closer to a 0 or 1?

To determine if an improper fraction is closer to 0 or 1, you can convert it to a mixed number. If the fraction is closer to 0, the whole number part of the mixed number will be 0, and if it is closer to 1, the whole number part will be 1. For example, if you have the improper fraction 5/7, when converted to a mixed number it becomes 0 5/7, indicating it is closer to 0 than 1.

Rational numbers are infinitely dense and so there is no such number. If for example, you considered F1 to be the fraction that was closet to 0 then what about half that number? F2 = (F1)/2 is closer to 0. And then what about F3 = (F2)/2? This could go on for ever.
