so what we do is we splie it up remember that 1/1=1 so therefor 6/6=1 find out how many 6/6 are in 23 and how much is left over remember that you can add the top numbers if the bottom numbers are the same 23/6-6/6=17/6 (that's one) 17/6-6/6=11/6 (that's 2) 11/6-6/6=5/6 (that's three) therefor you have 23/6=6/6+6/6+6/6+5/6=1+1+1+5/6=3+5/6=3 and 5/6
