No, the reciprocal of a proper fraction will not be a proper fraction again.
- In a proper fraction, the numerator is lesser than the denominator. If the numerator is greater than the denominator then, it is called an improper fraction.
- The reciprocal of a fraction is written by interchanging the numbers at the numerator and denominator.
- When the smaller number at the numerator is brought to the denominator and the greater number at the denominator is brought to the numerator, the proper fraction turns into an improper fraction.
