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
