Steps to convert 118/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 118/3 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 [39] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [118]:

118 - (39 × 3)

=

118 - 117 = 1
