## How to Convert Improper Fractions to Mixed Forms

In Introduction to Functions, we have learned about proper and improper fractions. A fraction whose numerator (the number above the fraction bar) is less than its denominator (the number below the fraction bar) is called a proper fraction. Therefore, $\frac{1}{3}$, $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{11}{20}$ are proper fractions.

On the other hand,  a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator is called an improper fraction. Therefore the fractions $\frac{21}{7}$, $\frac{8}{3}$ and $\frac{67}{5}$ are improper fractions.

In the Civil Service Examinations, some fractions need to be converted from one form to another. For example, in answering a number series test, you might need to convert an improper fraction to mixed form in order to compare it to other fractions in mixed form. In this post, we learn this method: how to convert an improper fraction to mixed form.
