5 over 8 can't be a whole number, as it is a fraction, a part of the whole.Slice a pie into 8 pieces. Each piece is an 8th of the whole pie. Only when the pie is whole can it be said to be a whole number - which would be 8. Remove a slice and the pie becomes a fraction.
37/8 = 4.625 which can be rounded to 5 as a whole number.
why are you asking solve it yourself
I assume you are referring to the fraction 5/8th. If 8 is the whole then 5 is five parts of the whole.
