#17 6/8# is already a mixed number.

What are mixed numbers?

#17 6/8=(17*color(red)(8)+6)/8=(138+6)/8=142/8=71/4=#
#=(68+3)/4=17 3/4#

#17 3/4# in simplest from.

A mixed number consists of a whole number part and a fraction part.

#17 6/8# is already written as a mixed number.

However, it is not in the simplest form. Both #6 and 8# are even and can therefore be divided by #2#

#17 (6div2)/(8 div2) = 17 3/4#
