Types of Fractions


The three types of fractions are:


Proper fraction

Improper fraction

Mixed fraction


The types of fractions are discussed here with examples.

Proper Fraction

A fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator, is called a proper fraction.

For example, ⁵/₁₉, ¹³/₂₁, ²/₁₅ etc. are proper fractions. 


Improper Fraction

A fraction whose numerator is more than or equal to the denominator, is called an improper fraction.

For example, ¹³/₅, ⁴¹/₃₁, ¹⁹⁷/₁₀₇ etc. are improper fractions.



Mixed Fraction

A combination of a whole number and a proper fraction is called a mixed fraction.

For example, 2³/₅, 7⁴/₁₅, 21⁶/₂₉ etc. are mixed fractions.

In the mixed fraction 3²/₅, 3 is the whole number and ²/₅ is the proper fraction with numerator 2 and denominator 5.
