If it is a fraction like 5/5 than you can make it into a whole number which in this case is 1, but if you have a fraction such as 3/8 the closest whole number you can get is 0.375 which by the way is not a whole number. however technically, 5/5 is not proper. A proper fraction is when the numerator is less than the denominator, therefore it is simply impossible.

How to change a fraction to a whole number?
Proper fractions are less than 1, so they can't change into whole numbers. Some improper fractions can change into whole numbers. 4/2 = 2 Most improper fractions change into mixed numbers (a whole number with a fraction) To change an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The result is the whole number. The remainder gets put over the original denominator. 22/7 = 3 and 1/7

How do you change proper fractions to mixed numbers?
do you mean from a fraction to a decimal? improper fractions can be changed into mixed numbers... 40/11 = 3 7/11 but proper fractions can only be changed to decimals... 11/40 = .275 this is because the proper fraction has no whole number value. the numerator is smaller than the denominator causing it to always be less than "1" so when dividing there is only a percentage of "1" and not a whole number with a remainder.
How do you change a factor to a mixed number?
