100/39 to a mixed number
How to write 100/39 as a Mixed Number?
Answer
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [100] is greater than the denominator [39]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 100/39 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 100/39 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:
1. Find the whole number. First we need to calculate how many times the denominator [39] goes into the numerator [100]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
100 ÷ 39 = 2.56 = 2
(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 22)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [22].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [39]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [100]:
100 - (2 × 39)
=100 - 78 = 22
3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [22] and put it above the original denominator [39], and then put the whole number [2] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 100/39 to the mixed number 2 22/39.
