Top-heavy (vulgar) fractions to mixed fractions

Learn how to convert top-heavy or vulgar fractions to mixed fractions

It is often useful to be able to convert between so called top-heavy or "vulgar" fractions (that is, fractions where the numerator is greater than the denominator) and mixed fractions (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction).

Examples of top-heavy fractions are:

Examples of mixed fractions are:

7¼       9½       21¾

To convert from a top-heavy fraction to a mixed fraction, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator to get the whole number part, use the remainder as the numerator of the fraction part, and the denominator of the top-heavy fraction becomes the denominator of the fraction part.

9/4     =     2 + 1/4     =     2¼

To convert in the other direction from a mixed fraction to a top-heavy or vulgar fraction try this topic: "Mixed fractions to top-heavy fractions" .
