i just realized it is very easy to do division and then take the remainder and simply make that a fraction

12/10 = 1 and 2/10ths
21/9 = 2 and 3/9ths
500/37 = 13 and 19/37ths

idk why they didn't teach this in school. plenty of situations in which this would be useful. i feel stupid for not realizing this in elementary school though

now i'm thinking more and it's like shit.. 3 divided by 8 is... 3/8ths... and 8 3/8ths is 3.
