mixed numbers are another form of improper fractions. the fraction formed by adding a non-zero integer and a true fraction (or subtracting a true fraction when a negative integer is used) (or the simplified number after adding and subtracting a true fraction and an improper fraction). it is generally read as a few and a fraction, false the reciprocal of the fraction must not be greater than one.

a mixed number is a form of fraction that is usually discussed in the context of positive numbers. if discussed within the real part, the absolute value that satisfies the definition of a mixed number in a narrow sense is a mixed number in a broad sense. mixed numbers contain two parts: the integer part and the proper fraction part. mixed numbers and improper fractions have a one-to-one correspondence.
