How to Convert Improper Fractions to Mixed Fraction?
Improper fractions and mixed fractions are the two ways of representing the same number and so they are equivalent and thus we can easily convert improper fraction to mixed fraction. To change improper fraction to mixed fraction use the steps discussed below,
Step 1: As we know that in improper fractions the numerator is always greater than the denominator. Divide the numerator by the denominator value.
Step 2: In the division process obtain the quotient and remainder.
Step 3: Arrange all the values obtained in Step 2 as,
Fraction in Mixed Form = Quotient(Remainder/Denominator)
The same can be understood by studying the example added below:
Example: Convert 17/4 into a mixed fraction.
Solution:
We have 17/4
Dividing the fraction we get,
17 = 4 × 4 + 1
- Quotient = 4
- Remainder = 1
In Mixed Fraction Form,
= 4(1/4)
This is the required mixed fraction form.

Improper Fractions
Improper Fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. Fractions are types of numbers that are used to represent numbers between two whole numbers. Suppose we have to find the number between 2 and 3 then using the concept of fractions we can find the number between 2 and 3 as 5/2. Fractions are generally of two types: Improper fraction and Proper fractions.
