If you are given a sum with a remainder, for example, 17 / 5 = 3 remainder 2, then you can convert the number to a mixed number by putting the remainder as the numerator of the fraction, and the divisor as the denominator of the fraction. At this point, the fractional part of the sum can easily be turned into a decimal by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator - therefore, 17 / 5 = 3 2/5 or 3.4.
