Proper Fractions:              Fractions having numerator less than the denominator are called proper fractions.                   Example: `3/7, 7/13.`Improper Fractions:             Fractions having numerator that are larger than or equal to their denominators are called improper fractions.                   Example: `12/5, 6/6, 21/11.` Mixed Fractions:             Numbers having a whole number part and a fractional part are called mixed numbers. We denote a mixed number in the form a `b/c` .                   Example: `2 5/2, 1 1/3` . Decimal Fractions:            Fractions having denominator as 10, 100 or 1000 or any other higher power of 10 are called decimal fractions.                   Example: `4/100` ,` 35/1000.` Simple Fractions:          Fractions having both the numerator and denominator as whole numbers are called simple fractions.                   Example: 4/5, 6/95. Like and Unlike Fractions:            Fractions having the same denominators are called like fractions, whereas fractions having different denominators are called unlike fractions.                Example: `4/9, 1/9` are all like fractions.                               `3/5, 4/7` are all unlike fractions.
