that's the thing, 34/23.7 is NOT how you write a proper fraction, I already made this clear.

Uh, no. You made clear what, in your profound ignorance, you imagined a fraction to be.

But, You are not a matchematician, and you can't be a mathematician if your concept of fraction is what you say it is, you have demonstrated a rather shocking lack of grasp of fraction operation, and you can't be bothered to look up the meaning of math terms.

Therefore no one cares what you imagine fractions to be. Get over it.

34/23.7 is not a proper fraction only because numerator is greater than denominator, not because the denominator is a decimal. The word proper in this context does not mean what you think it means. It only denotes one particular type of fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator. It does not mean any fraction that is not a proper fraction is therefore not a legitimate or acceptable fraction.

What you are struggling towards, emshrouded in the amorphous fog of confusion and ignorance as you are, is the term for a fraction where both the numerator and denominator are integers. That type of fraction is called a common or vulgar fraction. Again, the word vulgar in this context does not mean what you think it means. It only denotes one particular type of fraction. Again, It does not mean any fraction that is not a vulgar fraction is therefore not a a legitimate or acceptable fraction.

And yes, a fraction can be both proper and vulgar, and it can one but not the other, and it can be neither.
