To simplify improper fractions, you need to be able to divide. So, divide he numerator by the denominator to get the answer. For example, you want to simplify the improper fraction 35/7. Divide 35 by 7 and your answer is 5. Sometimes the answer may come out differently. For example, you want to simplify the improper fraction 42/12. Divide 42/12 and your answer is 3 with 6 left over. So, your answer is going to be a mixed number. The whole number is going to be 3. To get the fraction, you need to look at the problem. 6 is going to be your numerator and the number that you divided by in the first problem is going to be your denominator. So, you answer is going to be 3 6/12. Lastly, 6/12 can be simplified to 1/2. Now, your finally answer is 3 1/2.
