How can we prove that an odd number divided by an even number is a fraction? I started with odd $=2m+1$ and even $=2n$ and get left with with $(m+2)/n$.

1You mean "divided by a _nonzero_ even number", and you probably mean "is not an integer" instead of "is a fraction". To me $\frac 21$ and $\frac{21}7$ are fractions, even though they are also integers. – 2013-11-25
