To simplify a whole number with a fraction, you first convert the whole number into a fraction by placing it over 1. Then, you find a common factor between the whole number and the numerator of the fraction and divide both by that factor. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by finding the greatest common divisor between the numerator and denominator and dividing both by that value.

All you do is simplify the fraction.

Take 1 and 4/12, for example.

Can you simplify 4/12?

Yes.

4/12 is reduced to 1/3.

Now it is 1 and 1/3 instead of 1 and 4/12.
