how to convert improper fraction in mixed fraction

An improper fraction is a fraction in which numerator is greater than the denominator.

A mixed fraction is represented by a whole number followed by a proper fraction.

An improper fraction can be converted into a mixed fraction by simply dividing the numerator of an improper fraction by its denominator. The quotient so obtained becomes the whole number part , remainder becomes the numerator and divisor becomes the denominator of the proper fraction.

For example , consider an improper fraction 11 / 2  that is to be converted into a mixed fraction.

When we divide 11 by 2 , we get '5' as the quotient, '1' as the remainder and '2' is the divisor.
