First you gotta see the denominator, like if it was 17/3, you would see how many times "3 goes into 17", as a simple way to put it, without actually going over it. Then since it goes into 17 5 times(3*5=15), so you are left with the remainder,

which is 2. Then simply you put that over the divsor, so the end result would be

5 2/3.
