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

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

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

Other examples of this are:

**(i) ** $2/1=2$

(ii) $42791/1=42791$

(iii) $8/1=8$
