As the numerator (6) is less than the denominator (39) it is a proper fraction.

A mixed number is an alternative way of writing an improper fraction which is a fraction with a numerator larger than the denominator: the numerator is divided by the denominator to get a whole quotient and a remainder: the quotient is the whole number and the remainder is the numerator, eg 11/4 � 11 ÷ 4 = 2 r 3 � 11/4 = 2 3/4

The fraction 6/39 can, however, be SIMPLIFIED as there is a common factor other than 1 between the numerator and denominator:

6/39 = (3x2)/(3x13) = 2/13
