Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is how many wholes there are, and the remainder is how many parts are left over.
fourteen sixths
= 14 ÷ 6 = 2 remainder 2
6 sixths make 1 whole, so 14 sixths make 2 wholes with 2 sixths left over.
= 2two sixths
Write the leftover parts as a fraction of a whole.
= 2one third
2/6 can be simplified: divide the top and bottom by 2. The answer needs the fractional part in simplest form.
