propFrac(

[,
var
])
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(
ë 4/3) ¸ ë1ì 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().
