-#### More Information:
-
+If we have a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not 0, then when a < b or |a| < |b| we say the fraction is *proper*. All other fractions are called *improper*.
+For example, 1/2, 2/3, 3/5 and -6/17 are all proper fractions, while 1/1, 3/2, -4/3 and 99/3 are all improper fractions.
+The term likely originates from the original use of fractions to be [part of a whole](http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/70437.html) and improper fractions are the generalization to this notion.
