An example of an proper fraction is: {8/16}, {24/30}, {9/24}, {17/34},etc.

Multiply The denominator of one fraction with the numerator of the other fraction
Step 2:
Multiply the denominator of the other fraction with the numerator of the fraction on the left.
Improper, Proper, Mixed and converting fractions
Proper Fractions
A proper fraction is when the numerator is less than the detonator. For Example: 2/8 The numerator (2) is bigger than the detonator (8)
