In order to turn a whole number into an improper fraction you need to decide what fraction you want it to be. Turning a whole number into an improper fraction allows you to chose any fraction.
E.G 1/2; 1/3; 1/4; 1/5; ECT...
After you have chosen what fraction, for this example I will chose quarters, take the full fraction, in this case 4/4 and the top number by the unit you have.
E.G #1:
My Whole Number Is - 12
My Fraction is 4/4
4*12 = 48
48/4 therefore = 12
E.G. #2:
My Whole Number Is - 1489
My Fraction is 9/9
9*1489 = 13401
13401/9 = 1489
