Sorry - in a proper fraction, the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
Basic rule - "Edit before Send" !

Brackets (parentheses) are only normally used in complex algebraic
equations although they may be used as a teaching aid in simple algebraic
& arithmetic equations. All you have to remember is that multiplication &
division are performed before addition & subtraction and you can't go
wrong. Easy Peasy. Common (or vulgar (from Latin vulgaris = common))
fractions consist of a numerator over a denominator. If the numerator is
larger than the
denominator it is a proper fraction wheras if the numerator is larger than
the denominator it is an improper fraction. The problem today is that
basic mathematical principle are no longer reinforced in school
programmmes (like times tables) and calculators are used even for the most
basic calculations. What ever happened to mental arithmetic? How many
photographers can still mentally apply the Sunny 16 rule?
