Question 325710
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


I presume you want to change an improper fraction to a proper fraction without changing the value of the fraction.  Sorry, such a thing cannot be done.


A proper fraction has a numerator that is less than the denominator.  Therefore, the value of such a fraction MUST be less than 1.

You can't change something with a value larger than 1 to something with a value smaller than 1 without changing its value.
