The name of a fraction with a larger number on top is called an improper fraction.
A 'top heavy' fraction is an improper fraction as for example 5/3
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or a common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
Oh, dude, an improper fraction is like a fraction that thinks it's too cool for school because the numerator is bigger than the denominator. So, technically, another name for it is a top-heavy fraction. But like, who really cares about fractions trying to act all fancy, am I right?
In a standard fraction, the number on top is the numerator, while the number on the bottom is the denominator.
