Conditional Formatting on Fractions

You're gonna have to play round with this by replacing parts of the formula with whatever your formula actually is
But given 91/247 as text

=LEFT(B18,FIND("/",B18)-1)/MID(B18,FIND("/",B18)+1,10)
produces a decimal.

So just check for it being greater than 1 so
=(LEFT(B18,FIND("/",B18)-1)/MID(B18,FIND("/",B18)+1,10))>1

Not looked at your workbook ( on iPad). But, if the numerator is less than the denominator, the result will be less than one ( 1 ). 3/4, 7/8, 9/16, whatever. So, just check if it's less than one ... I think.
