Steps to convert 115/16 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 115/16 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 [16] goes into the numerator [115]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

115 ÷ 16 = 7.19 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [115]:

115 - (7 × 16)

=

115 - 112 = 3

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [16], and then put the whole number [7] before it

115
