A mixed number. Some people call them mixed fractions.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
A mixed number is not an integer. Integers are positive or negative whole numbers and zero, but not fractions.
