Steps to convert 115/6 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 115/6 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 [6] goes into the numerator [115]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

115 ÷ 6 = 19.17 = 19

(Quotient of 19 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [19] and multiplying it by the original denominator [6]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [115]:

115 - (19 × 6)

=

115 - 114 = 1

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [6], and then put the whole number [19] before it

115
