1615/170

We first need to convert this into a proper fraction. Which means that the denominator must be larger than the numerator for it to be proper. Also, since 1615 is BIGGER than 170, we will end up with a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction always has a whole number.

1615 can go into 170 how many times?

9 times

170*9 = 1530

Now subtract.

1615 - 1530 = 85

Now we have our mixed fraction:  9  85/170

Now we must simplify the fraction.

85/5 = 17
170/5 = 34

17/34 is the smallest possible fraction we can get. 

9 17/34
