✅ I know I've got it when I can:

1. Identify that the numerator is larger than the denominator in an improper fraction.

2. Divide the numerator by the denominator to find the whole number.

3. Write the remainder as the new numerator over the original denominator.

4. Simplify the fraction part if needed.

📖 How To Convert — Step-by-Step
