When primary memory is divided into fixed size frames and if a page of process does not occupy complete frame, it is known as internal fragmentation because this fragmented memory can't be use for any purpose. In case of variable size partition of memory, external fragmentation may occur in the system. In order to avoid external fragmentation, paging concept was introduced.
