To find the improper fraction value, we must effectively add together 71 and 5/7. To do this, we will give 71 a denominator of 7; therefore, we are transforming 71/1 to x/7. The shortest way to do this is to multiply by 7/7 (which really is 1); therefore, 71 = 71 * (7/7) = 497/7.
Now add them: (497 + 5)/7 = 502/7
