Steps to convert 117/20 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 117/20 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [20]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [117]:

117 - (5 × 20)

=

117 - 100 = 17

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [17] and put it above the original denominator [20], and then put the whole number [5] before it
