If it is an IMPROPER (Top heavy( fraction , say 15/4

Then to convert to a mixed number.

We divided '15' by '4 , the answer is '3' with a remainder of 3'.

So the answer number '3' is the 'big ' number. the remainder '3' for am fraction '3/4'.

So the answer is 3 3/4 = 15/4

You mean mixed fraction?

This only works when the top (numerator) is larger than the bottom (denominator).

You divide the top by the bottom as close as you as you can and write this as a whole number and then the remainder as a numerator over the original denominator.

Example:

67/9 -> 7 4/9

Explanation: 67 divided by 9 is 7 with 4 left over.
