I have to write a program that converts an improper fraction to a mixed number. Prompt the user for the numerator and the denominator, then calculate and display the equivalent mixed number. numerator is 23 and denominator is 6.
This is what I have so far...
num = int(input('Type numerator'))
dem = int(input('Type denominator'))
I'm not exactly sure what the next step is...I know the answer is supposed to be The mixed number is 3 and 5/6.
Assuming that your inputs are always integer values, you can use the divide and mod operators to do this.
The following should work:
a = num // dem
b = num % dem
print 'The mixed number is {} and {}/{}'.format(a, b, dem)
