We categorize such a fraction as an improper fraction since the numerator is not less than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Denominator of a Fraction?
