Definition of Proper Fraction
A proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
For example,
- \(\dfrac{5}{7}\) is a proper fraction since \(5
- \(\dfrac{11}{23}\) is a proper fraction since \(11
- \(\dfrac{6}{6}\) is not a proper fraction (it is improper), and neither is \(\dfrac{23}{11}\).
