The answer depends on the divisor - which must me greater than 3.

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.
For an improper fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, you have to remove the largest whole number represented in the numerator. 1) To find this whole number, divide the numerator by the denominator and it will give you the whole number part of your answer. 2) The remainder is your numerator for the fraction part of your number. 3) write the whole number from step 1, and the fraction left over in step 2, and reduce the fraction if asked to. Example: 15/4 1) Divide 15 by 4 = 3 with a remainder of 3 2) Your answer is 3 and 3/4 3) Multiply to check 3 x 4/4 = 12/4 + 3/4 = 15/4 Example : 17/3 1) Divide 17 by 3 = 5 with a remainder of 2 2) Your answer is 5 and 2/3 3) Multiply to check 5 x 3/3 = 15/3 + 2/3 = 17/3
An IMPROPER FRaction can be converted to a mixed number/fraction. Here is an example 14/3 Divide the '3' into '14' . It will go '4 ' times with a remainder of '2'. So the '4' becomes the coefficient (big) number and the '2' is placed over the '3' to make a faction. So 14/3 = 4 2/3 Mixed number/fraction.
To turn an improper fraction into a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put the remainder over the original denominator. 11/3 = 3 and 2/3
There can be no answer without information about the divisor.
