Steps to convert 15/11 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 15/11 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 [11] goes into the numerator [15]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

15 ÷ 11 = 1.36 = 1

(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [11]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [15]:

15 - (1 × 11)

=

15 - 11 = 4

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [11], and then put the whole number [1] before it

15
11
=1
4
11

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 15/11 to the mixed number 1 4/11.
