Change the following improper fraction to a mixed number;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{23}{5} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
The first step is to divide 23 by 5.
The result is 4, remainder 3.
This means when written as a mixed number, we now have 4 as a whole number, and the remainder is combined with the number below the division line (denominator). This now becomes;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{23}{5}\Rightarrow\operatorname{Im}proper\text{ fraction} \\ 4\frac{3}{5}\Rightarrow Mixed\text{ number} \end{gathered}[/tex]
