When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator, that's a proper fraction.

∙ 7y agoA proper fraction has the top number (the numerator) smaller than the bottom number (the denominator).
The fraction becomes smaller: provided the denominator was positive.
No, a proper fraction has a numerator smaller than the denominator.
The smaller fraction has the smaller numerator.
the denominator
If a fraction's denominator is increased, the number gets smaller. If a fraction's denominator is decreased, the number gets bigger.
If the fraction's numerator is greater than its denominator, then it already is an improper fraction. If its numerator is smaller than its denominator, then there's nothing you can do to it to turn it into an improper fraction.
A proper fraction
A proper fraction has the top number (the numerator) smaller than the bottom number (the denominator).
As long as the whole number is not zero, it becomes a unit fraction with a larger denominator, ie one with a smaller value.
It is a proper fraction and if the numerator > denominator than it is an improper fraction.
The bigger the denominator(lowest) the smaller the fraction

There is no whole number immediately in front of the fraction. And, for the fractional part, the numerator (the top number) is smaller than the denominator (the bottom number).
