Oh, dude, it's like super easy. So, you just divide the numerator by the denominator, and if the result is a whole number, that's your new whole number. Then, whatever is left over becomes the new numerator, and the original denominator stays the same. Voila! Improper fraction, no big deal.

There are two types of fractions: proper and improper. One does not become the other. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
22/7 = 3 and 1/7
What is an example of rename a mixed number as an improper fraction?Okay, we want to change the mixed number 3 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. First, multiply the denominator of the fraction (2) by the whole number (3). Once you have multiplied that, add the product to the numerator (1). Therefore, making your answer 7/2.
The whole number times the denominator and add the numerator.... 7 1/2 ^ 7x2+1 Simple!
Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction then divide the fraction and improper fraction as normal (invert the divisor and multiply) and simplify the result (including converting any improper fraction into a mixed number)
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the top number (numerator) is largerthan the bottom number (denominator).Such a fraction can always be converted to a whole number plus sometimes a'proper' fraction.Examples:The improper fraction 45/15 = 3 .The improper fraction 10/7 = 13/7 .
When the remainder is zero the answer is a whole number. Put that number over 1 for an improper fraction.
