they way you have it written , 4/2 is a improper fraction, if you simplify , it is equivalent to a whole number

A fraction is just some ratio, and in this case, we do have a ratio.

No, it's a whole number too.

That's like saying $$\rm \sqrt 4$$ is irrational but it becomes rational after simplification.
