2 7/8
Subtract the largest multiple of 8 that is smaller than 23 (in this case 16) from 23. Then the number that you subtracted divided by 8 (16/8=2) is your whole number, while the difference (23-16=7) is the numerator. Then you use the same denominator as the original question and simplify the fraction if you need to (2 6/8 would be 2 3/4)

An example of a mixed number would be 28 over 15
25 over 5 equals 5 which is an integer. It is not sensible to change an integer or whole number into a mixed number but if you must, you could write it as 50/5
