Steps to convert 15/4 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 15/4 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [15]:

15 - (3 × 4)

=

15 - 12 = 3

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