    Divide the numerator by the denominator. Start by writing your improper fraction. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator — in other words, just do the division problem that the fraction is already set up for. Don't forget to include the remainder.[1] X Research source Let's follow along with an example. Let's say that we need to turn the fraction 7/5 into a mixed number. We'll start ...
    Write the whole number answer. The whole number part of your mixed number (the big number to the left of your fraction) is the whole number answer of your division problem. In other words, just write the answer of the division problem without the remainder.[2] X Research source In our example, since our answer is 1 R2, we would leave off the remainder and just write 1.
    Make a fraction from the remainder and the original denominator. Now, we need to find the fraction part of the mixed number. Put the remainder from your division problem in the numerator and use the same denominator from your original improper fraction. Put this fraction next to your whole number and you have your mixed number![3] X Research source In our example, our remainder is 2. Putting ...
    To get back to an improper fractions, add the whole number to the numerator. Mixed numbers look good on paper and are easy to read, but they're not always the best choice. For example, if we're multiplying a fraction and a mixed number, our work will be a lot easier if we convert the mixed number back into an improper fraction. To do this, just multiply the whole number by the denominator and ...
    Improper fractions aren't necessarily bad to have. In fact, sometimes they're more useful than mixed numbers. For instance, if you're going to multiply two fractions, improper fractions are better because you just have to multiply across the numerator and the denominator to get your answer: e.g., 1/6 × 7/2 = 7/12. Now, try multiplying 1/6 × 3 1/2 — not so simple. Thanks Helpful 3 Not Helpful 0
    On the other hand, mixed numbers are usually best when you're describing something in real life. For instance, if a recipe calls for 4 1/2 cups of flour, you wouldn't say, "we need 9/2 cups of flour." Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

  2. Let's go through our example step-by-step to see how to turn an improper fraction into a mixed number: Divide the numerator by the denominator (the top number by the bottom number). If you divide 8 by 5, you get a quotient (whole number) and a remainder: ⁸⁄₅ = 1 remainder 3 = 1 R 3.
