The same way as multiplying a whole number by an ordinary fraction: Multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number and put it over the original denominator (bottom number). This can then be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their highest common factor; or it can be converted into a decimal (which could be a whole number) by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Why does the product of two fractions has the same value before and after dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor?
If you are dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number (the GCF), it is the same as dividing the fraction by 1, which will leave it unchanged and create the same product.

How do you write the remainder 2 as a fraction?
The numerator of the fraction is '2'. The denominator of the fraction is the divisor (the number you were dividing by).
How do you change division to fraction?
We have to put the dividend in the numerator and divisor in the denominator. For e.g, 4 by 8=4/8
