English term

improper fraction

I am proofreading a math test translation.
For the question "Is 6/4 and improper fraction?", she has used "Est-ce 6/4 une fraction incorrecte ?"
I can't find the term improper fraction in my dictionaries. Is the translater right?
Thank you.

1045: I can see that clearly now! An incorrect fraction is a wrong fraction, n'est-ce pas?
I think my translator is using a machine, because I just found that "improper" translates to "incorrecte" only when one is discussing attitude. Merci.
