Example: 3/4 - 9/16 = ?/?
You have to find the lcm/THE LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE
4: 4,8,12,16,20,24....
16: 16....
It can be either. It is the number at the top of a fraction.
When the numerator gets bigger, the fraction gets bigger; that is, it has a greater value The opposite is true if the denominator gets bigger; in this case the the fraction gets smaller; that is, it has a lesser value
You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.
the fraction is said to be improper.
there is nothing to do its a proper fraction
A fraction with a numerator that is smaller than its denominator is less than one.
It can be either. It is the number at the top of a fraction.
If you're asking the difference, then a proper fraction is when the numerator is smaller than the denominator. And an improper fraction is a fraction bigger than whole or when the numerator is larger than the denominator.

An improper fraction
The bigger the denominator(lowest) the smaller the fraction

mixed fraction
Proper Fractions:a fraction in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator such as:6/9 or 4/7...improper fraction:a fraction in which the numerator is bigger than the denominator such as: 18/4 or 97/3. Improper fractions are normally used when converting fractions.
if the numerator is bigger then the denominator it is called an improper fraction so you have to divide to get your regular fraction.
