A fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator is called an improper fraction.
In a fraction, the numerator is the top number that indicates how many parts are being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number that shows how many equal parts make up a whole. When the numerator exceeds the denominator, it signifies that there is more than one whole unit represented by the fraction.
For example, the fraction 7/4 is an improper fraction because 7 (the numerator) is greater than 4 (the denominator). Improper fractions can also be converted into mixed numbers for easier comprehension, which combine a whole number with a proper fraction. In this case, 7/4 can be expressed as 1 3/4.
