(2555 ; 5) 511
————— = —— (simplest form)
(1000 ; 5) 200

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 2555/1000 is also equal to 2 111/200 when expressed as a mixed number.
Answer - { 511/200 } or { 2555/1000 }
mixed number { 2 111/200 }
