To show a fraction as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction, you can divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number will be the result of this division, and the remainder will be the numerator of the unit fraction. For example, if you have the fraction 7/3, you would divide 7 by 3 to get 2 with a remainder of 1, so 7/3 can be expressed as 2 1/3.
Write the answer as a mixed number. The remainder over the divisor will make up the fractional part. For example: 25/4 = 6 r1 or 6 1/4 (six and one fourth)

You can subtract the bigger fraction by the smaller fraction and then put a minus sign in front of the answer.
