It's an improper fraction (the numerator is larger than the denominator)
If you want to get a mixed fraction you have to find out how much the denominator goes into the numerator and keep the difference in the fraction.
Ex: 8 goes once into 13, so keep 1 as the whole number. The difference, which is 5, stays in the numerator.
1 5/8
For a whole number, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
Ex: 13/8 = 1.625
