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

Say we have the fraction 10/3 - which is an improper fraction - we can convert this fraction to a mixed fraction by following a number of steps:
Find the largest number smaller than the numerator (10),
that can divide the denominator - 3 - without remainder.
⇒ 9
Subtract the found number (9) - from Step 1 -
from the numerator (10)
⇒ 10 - 9 = 1;
This yields the whole number.
Divide the found number (9) - from Step 1 -
by the denominator (3)
⇒ 9/3 = 3;
This yields the new numerator.
Reuse the denominator (3) to get our mixed fraction
⇒ 31/3
