Definitions

Division - Division, otherwise known as the inverse of multiplication separates a certain number into what it has been divided by.

Fraction - A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, or three-quarters.

Improper Fraction - An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. For example, $\frac{3}{2}$ is an improper fraction, but 2/3 is a proper fraction, whose denominator is greater than the numerator.

Mixed Number - A mixed number is a whole number, and a proper fraction represented together. It generally represents a number between any two whole numbers. Look at the given image, it represents a fraction that is greater than 1 but less than 2.

Now we can solve this equation

1. Step one - Division   $822\div19=\frac{822}{19}$
2. Step two - Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number $822\div19=43$ $R5$
3. Step three - Turn the remainder back into a fraction $43 \frac{5}{19}$

Your answer is  $43\frac{5}{19}$
