Best Answer

you first divide 17 by 3 and if you have a remainder don't try to to make it into a decimal now the answer should be 5 so the whole number would be 5 the remainder should be 2 so with 3 as the denominator make the remainder 2 in this case the numerator. the answer is 5 2/3

but if you have a problem where it divides evenly then you wont have to do any of the steps with the remainder the answer to the division would be a whole number by it self
