• A whole number
• A numerator
• A denominator

Example:$$2 \frac{1}{3}$$231​

Improper Fraction

The numerator is larger than the denominator.

How the Mixed Fraction Calculator Works

✔ Improper → Mixed Fraction

Formula:$$\text{Whole number} = \left\lfloor \frac{n}{d} \right\rfloor$$Whole number=⌊dn​⌋ $$\text{Remainder} = n \bmod d$$Remainder=nmodd $$\text{Mixed Fraction} = \text{Whole} \; \frac{\text{Remainder}}{d}$$Mixed Fraction=WholedRemainder​

The calculator also simplifies the fraction automatically using the greatest common divisor (GCD).

✔ Mixed Fraction → Improper Fraction

Formula:$$\text{Improper} = (\text{Whole} \times d) + n$$Improper=(Whole×d)+n

Example:$$2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$$231​=37​
