In a proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator. This holds true no matter how large both are. As long as the numerator is the smaller of the two, the fraction is a proper fraction. For example, 998/999 is a proper fraction. Even though the numbers are both large, and they're only separated by 1, the numerator is still smaller than the denominator. Likewise, 1/999 is a proper fraction.
An exampled of an improper fraction is 7/4. When you convert a whole number to a fraction, you will end up with an improper fraction. You can also have a mixed fraction, where you have a whole number and a fraction. For example, 2 2/3 would be a mixed fraction.f your whole number is 30, your fraction would be 30/1. The fraction is equal to 30, so you have not changed the number at all; you are just representing it in a different way. You can change any whole number into a fraction this way, but you always need to leave 1 as the denominator.
