Improper fraction

Question

Do the improper fractions include, "the fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal its denominator" or "the fraction whose numerator is greater only than the denominator"?

Answer 1

Any fraction that would reduce to an integer and fraction, is an improper fraction. So 8/8 and 9/8 are both improper fractions, while 7/8 is a proper fraction.

Answer 2

It should be stated at the beginning of your paper, whether you consider $\frac{a}{a}$ as an improper fraction od not. Point it out and continue with the convention you have just set on your work.

Answer 3

A fraction with a numerator that is greater than or equal to the denominator is known as an improper fraction. It represents a number greater than or equal to one.
