Steps to convert 140/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 140/3 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 [3] goes into the numerator [140]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

140 ÷ 3 ≈ 46.67

140 = 46 × 3 + 2

(Quotient of 46 and a remainder of 2)

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

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [46] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [140]:

140 - (46 × 3)

=

140 - 138 = 2

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [46] before it

140

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 140/3 to the mixed number 46 2/3.
