What is a mixed number

How to convert a fraction to mixed numbers

The fraction is first reduced to its lowest terms (see simplify fractions for more information).

If the fraction's numerator is greater than the denominator (an improper fraction), then the whole portion is obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The numerator of the proper fraction is the remainder of the division. The denominator is the same as the denominator of the original fraction.
