Divide the numerator by the denominator. The largest integer quotient is the whole number , the remainder is the numerator , and you use the same denominator.

Examples

15/7 = 2 plus remainder 1 = 2 1/7

32/30 = 1 plus remainder 2 = 1 2/30 = 1 1/15

Mixed numbers contain a whole number with a fraction sitting next to it. To turn this number into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add it to the numerator.

Example:

6 7/8 is a mixed number.
6*8 + 7 = 55.
55/8 is the same number as an improper fraction.
