You divide the numerator by the denominator, and that gives you the answer.
Say its 100/12, 100 divided by 12 is 8 with four leftovers. The four leftovers go into the numerator and the whole number becomes 8 so it looks like 8 4/12, then you simplify to 8 1/3 and your done.
You change the mixed number into an inproper fraction.
Because common denominators allow adding and subtracting of numerators. Improper fractions also have simplified rules over mixed numbers when performing multiplication and division.

For addition, subtraction, division and multiplication with other fractions
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
Convert them to improper fractions and proceed the same way you would multiply two fractions.
Change the mixed numbers into improper fractions and carry out the calculations accordingly
When dividing a fraction you leave the first fraction as it is and you change the second fraction into a reciprocal (flip the fraction). Once you have changed the second fraction into a reciprocal, then you would simply *multiply the two fractions together. Once you multiply the two fractions then that would be your final answer. Dont forget to simplify! And remember if the fractions are mixed numbers before you do anything you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions first! hope this helps! *If you dont know how to multiply fractions then thats a different question
You change them into improper or topheavy fractions.
