An improper fraction, also known as a top heavy fraction is a fraction that is equal to larger than 1.

For example 7/2 This could also be expressed as the mixed number 3 1/2 or the decimal 3.5.

Improper fractions are easier to use than mixed numbers or decimals when multiplying or dividing, especially with another fraction.

i.e. 7/2 x 7/2 = 49/4
