Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

This video tutorial teaches how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers using division. It begins with an introduction to improper fractions, explaining why the numerator being larger than the denominator is undesirable. The tutorial then provides three examples: converting 18/4, 25/7, and 104/12 into mixed numbers. Each example involves dividing the numerator by the denominator, identifying the quotient as the whole number, and the remainder as the new numerator over the original denominator. The video emphasizes understanding times tables for efficient division.
