Best Answer

For a mixed fraction, you need an improper fraction, that is, a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator. So suppose the fraction is x/y where x > y.

Then divide x by y: that is x/y = q with a remainder r.

Then the mixed fraction for x/y is q r/y.


[Actually you need a numerator whose absolute value is greater than the positive denominator, but the fact that you ask this question suggests that you are nowhere near ready to go there.]
