To express a number as a fraction, it needs to be related to a second number. The first number becomes the numerator and the second number becomes the denominator.
2 is 1/3 of 6 because when one writes 2/6 it can be simplified to 1/3.
40 cannot be expressed as a true fraction until one has a second number to be the denominator in 40/X
The only way to express 40 as a fraction is to write it as 40/1.
