"Whole number" actually has several definitions depending on who you talk to. It can be used to refer to all positive integers (1,2,3,4,...) all non-negative integers (0,1,2,3,4,...), or all integers (...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...). A fraction is a representation of a number as a ratio between two numbers. Consequently any whole number can be represented as the number divided by 1, i.e. 7 = 7/1. A whole number can also be represented as that same ratio with the top and bottom multiplied by the same number, i.e. 7 = 7/1 = 14/2 = 35/5.
Generally when you represent a whole number as a fraction you would no longer be calling it a whole number, rather you would refer to it as a fraction. Note that "fraction" is often used interchangeably with the term "rational number". The set of Rational numbers includes all numbers that can be represented as a ratio of integers, i.e. as fractions. Since all whole numbers can be represented as fractions, all whole numbers are included in the set of rational numbers - but not all rational numbers are whole numbers.
