What is [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] as a mixed or a whole number?

So, (as apologiabiology's brother)
We find out how many whole 4's would fit in 17. We get 4 4's with a remainder of 1.
So, 17/4 = 4 1/4 (four and one-fourth)
P.S. 17/4 cannot be written as a whole number without fractions.

so lets see the biggest counting number that has a factor of four, yet is less than 17 so 16 is divisible by 4 and less than 17 so 16/4 +1/4=17/4 16/4=4 so 4 and 1/4 1/4=.25 so 4.25

The improper fraction 4 17 ​ can be converted to the mixed number 4 4 1 ​ by dividing 17 by 4. This gives a whole part of 4 and a remainder of 1, which is then expressed as a fraction. Thus, 4 17 ​ = 4 4 1 ​ .
