Division: Divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number).
Divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator, using long division if necessary, to get a decimal fraction. Move the decimal point two places to the right and append a percent symbol for a percentage.
you first divide 17 by 3 and if you have a remainder don't try to to make it into a decimal now the answer should be 5 so the whole number would be 5 the remainder should be 2 so with 3 as the denominator make the remainder 2 in this case the numerator. the answer is 5 2/3 but if you have a problem where it divides evenly then you wont have to do any of the steps with the remainder the answer to the division would be a whole number by it self
The line in a fraction can be read as "divided by." Do the division. Multiply the result by 100. 3/4 = 3 divided by 4 = 0.75 = 75%
