Mixed Number to Improper Fraction
A mixed number a b/c equals the improper fraction (a×c + b)/c. Simplify by GCD to get the irreducible form.
Converting and simplifying mixed fractions
- To convert 2 3/5 to improper: (2×5 + 3)/5 = 13/5. GCD(13,5) = 1, already irreducible.
- Improper fractions are preferred in algebra; mixed numbers are more intuitive in everyday life.
Examples
Reducible
- Input
- 2 4/6
- Expected output
- 8/6 → 4/3
GCD(8,6)=2, simplifies to 4/3.

Simplifying means dividing both the numerator and denominator by their Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) until no integer greater than 1 divides both. The resulting fraction is equivalent but in its most reduced form.
