How to Convert Improper Fraction to Mixed Fraction in C# | Fun Maths Exercise



Understanding Fractional Numbers | Maths Explanation for C# Kids

Welcome to this junior secondary C# math project! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to convert improper fractions to mixed fractions using C#. This beginner-friendly guide is perfect for students exploring math with C#, and includes a simple C# script to help you understand fraction conversion step by step.

Whether you're just starting out with C# or looking for a fun math coding activity, this project will show you how to build a mixed fraction calculator using basic programming concepts.
Coding fractions in C# is a fun way to combine math and programming. This project helps junior secondary students build confidence in both areas, and also teaches how to apply math logic in C# code.

As before, fractional numbers can either be Proper (e.g. 2/5), Improper (e.g. 5/2), or Mixed (e.g. 21/2),


Step-by-Step Explanation of Improper Fraction to Mixed Fraction Conversion in C#

Say we have the fraction 10/3 - which is an improper fraction - we can write a C# algorithm that converts this improper fraction to a mixed fraction by following a number of steps:

Step 1:

Find the largest number smaller than the numerator (10), that can divide the denominator - 3 - without remainder.
         ⇒ 9

Step 2:

Subtract the found number (9) - from Step 1 - from the numerator (10)
         ⇒ 10 - 9 = 1;
This yields the whole number.

Step 3:

Divide the found number (9) - from Step 1 - by the denominator (3)
         ⇒ 9/3 = 3;
This yields the new numerator.

Step 4:

Reuse the denominator (3) to get our mixed fraction
         ⇒ 31/3

Create a new csharp class file; call it ImproperToMixed
Type out the adjoining C# code for converting improper to mixed fraction.


Note: You can comment out the ImproperToMixed C# object code in the main class from the previous lesson or simply continue from where it stopped.


So! C# Fun Practice Exercise - Convert Improper Fraction to Mixed Fraction

As a fun practice exercise, feel free to try out your own improper fractions with different numerators and denominators, and see how the C# code simplifies those fractions.
