An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.

$5$ $5$ essentially is $\frac{5}{1}$ $5/1$ , and so that's how you can write it in terms of an improper fraction.

Any number divided by $1$ $1$ is the number itself.

Other examples of this are:

**(i) ** $\frac{2}{1} = 2$ $2/1=2$

(ii) $\frac{42791}{1} = 42791$ $42791/1=42791$

(iii) $\frac{8}{1} = 8$ $8/1=8$
