It conveys a whole number. A fraction with a numerator that is equal to the denominator 1 - [tex] \frac{1}{1} [/tex], it clearly conveys the integer [tex]1[/tex]. And, greater than that, like [tex] \frac{7}{1}, \frac{5}{1}, \frac{10}{1} [/tex], all are whole numbers. When a fraction has a denominator of [tex]1[/tex], it conveys the numerator as a whole number. Denominator 1 means that that there is one piece - that's whole! If there are seven pieces of wholes [tex](\frac{7}{1})[/tex], it means there are seven wholes - an integer, which is [tex]7[/tex].
So, the formulas can be laid as - [tex] \frac{x=1}{1}=1[/tex]
And, [tex] \frac{x\ \textgreater \ 1}{1}=x [/tex]
