expression

propFrac(

rational_number

)

returns

rational_number

as the sum of an integer and

a fraction having the same sign and a greater
denominator magnitude than numerator
magnitude.

propFrac(4/3) ¸

1 + 1/3

propFrac(л 4/3) ¸

л 1м 1/3

propFrac(

rational_expression,var

)

returns the

sum of proper ratios and a polynomial with
respect to

var

. The degree of

var

in the

denominator exceeds the degree of

var

in the

numerator in each proper ratio. Similar
powers of

var

are collected. The terms and

their factors are sorted with

var

as the main

variable.

If

var

is omitted, a proper fraction expansion

is done with respect to the most main
variable. The coefficients of the polynomial
part are then made proper with respect to
their most main variable first and so on.

For rational expressions,

propFrac()

is a

faster but less extreme alternative to

expand()

.
