The number \( \frac{36}{7} \) is already an improper fraction because the numerator (36) is greater than the denominator (7). An improper fraction is defined as a fraction where the numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator.

If you want to convert it to a mixed number, you can do the following:

1. Divide 36 by 7, which gives you 5 as the whole number (since \( 7 \times 5 = 35 \)).
2. Subtract 35 from 36 to find the remainder, which is 1.

So, \( \frac{36}{7} \) can be expressed as the mixed number \( 5 \frac{1}{7} \).

Therefore, \( \frac{36}{7} \) is an improper fraction, and it can also be expressed as the mixed number \( 5 \frac{1}{7} \).
