Might be. I've never seen it used that way, though, I know that some people prefer parentheses around the fraction to the right of integers.

That said, even Wolframalpha appears to disagree, which I find mildly funny if what you say is true.

EDIT: Just realized something even more damning. If you input it into Wolframalpha using math input, it just assumes addition (lol). Yeah, I might have to read up on this.

I learned at grade/primary school, it's useful as a teaching tool for fractions. Although, I do recall using something similar for partial fractions in college.

In wolfram alpha they call it mixed fraction or number.
