Write the improper fraction
23
4
as a mixed number

To convert the improper fraction \( \frac{23}{4} \) into a mixed number:

1. Divide the numerator (23) by the denominator (4).
   \[
   23 \div 4 = 5 \text{ remainder } 3
   \]
   So, 23 divided by 4 equals 5 with a remainder of 3.

2. The quotient (5) becomes the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder (3) becomes the new numerator over the original denominator (4).

Thus, \( \frac{23}{4} \) as a mixed number is:
\[
5 \frac{3}{4}
\]
