How the Mixed Number to Improper Fraction Calculator Works
A mixed number like 2⅓ combines a whole number and a fraction. To write it as a single (improper) fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator, keeping the same denominator: 2 × 3 + 1 = 7, so 2⅓ = 7⁄3.
Improper fractions — where the top is bigger than the bottom — are the form you need for multiplying and dividing fractions. The calculator also shows the simplified and decimal forms.
improper = (whole × denominator + numerator) over denominator
