An Improper Fraction is one were the numerator(top number) is greater than the denominator(bottom number).

They are often incorrectly named as 'Top heavy fractions'.

For the mixed number 8 4/5 , to make it into an improper fraction , multiply the denominator (5) with the coefficient (8) . Hence 5 x 8 = 40. Then add '4' (The numerator) to 40 . Hence 40 + 4 = 44 . Place over the denominator. Hence '44/5' ; the answer.

As an example here is another one 7 1/7 = 36/7.
