​FRACTION AND ITS TYPES

​

• ​PROPER FRACTION- A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, then it is known as a proper fraction.

​

• ​IMPROPER FRACTION- A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator , then it is known as an improper fraction.

​

• ​UNLIKE FRACTIONS- The fraction which have unequal denominators are called unlike fractions.
