There are 6 equally likely outcomes, and only 2 of them (5 and 6) are greater than 4. Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 4 is 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3. The answer is $\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$.

To find the probability of getting a number greater than 4 when rolling a fair six-sided die (numbered 1 through 6), we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (numbers greater than 4) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, the numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6, so there are 2 favorable outcomes. The total number of possible outcomes is 6 since there are 6 faces on the die.

Therefore, the probability of getting a number greater than 4 is 2/6, which can be simplified to 1/3.
