A vulgar/improper/top heavy fraction can be changed to a mixed fraction by subtracting an amount of units so that the numerator is less than the denominator.
For example, if we have 23/7, this is a vulgar fraction, and we need to take away 7s from the numerator until it is less than 7. 23-7=16. 16-7=9. 9-7=2.
2 is less than 7 so we have reached the answer. We took 7 away 3 times, so the answer is written as 3 and 2/7

Ex 4 3/4 = 19/4
You convert the mixed numeral into an improper fraction. Now subtract the improper fraction from the whole number by putting the whole number over 1.
First you would want to change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you can subtract
You change them into improper or topheavy fractions.
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
Find it out yourself
divide the numerator by the denominator

If its not an improper fraction then you cant....

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.

You change it into an improper fraction, then simplify it, then if you want to, change it back to a mixed number.
You do the numerator divided by the denominator, then simplify the fractions if you can. (this is how you change a improper fraction to a mixed number, you cannot change a proper fraction to a mixed number)
