4. The fraction is an improper one, rewrite it as a mixed number (mixed fraction):

  • A mixed number = an integer number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.
  • Example 1: 2 1/5; Example 2: - 1 3/7.
  • A proper fraction = the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

28,849 ÷ 5,000 = 5, remainder = 3,849 ⇒

28,849 = 5 × 5,000 + 3,849 ⇒

28,849/5,000 =

(5 × 5,000 + 3,849) / 5,000 =

(5 × 5,000) / 5,000 + 3,849/5,000 =

5 + 3,849/5,000 =

5 3,849/5,000
