Understanding Fractions and Mixed Numbers

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. It is written as one number over another, separated by a line. The number above the line is the numerator, and the number below the line is the denominator.

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction. It represents a number greater than one. For example, if you have 7 slices of a pie that's cut into 3 slices per whole pie, you have 2 whole pies and 1 slice left over, which is represented as the mixed number 2 1/3.

This tool helps you convert improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator) into mixed numbers, making it easier to understand the value of the fraction in terms of whole units and remaining parts.
