Steps to convert 169/20 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 169/20 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 [20] goes into the numerator [169]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

169 ÷ 20 = 8.45 = 8

(Quotient of 8 and a remainder of 9)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [9].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [8] and multiplying it by the original denominator [20]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [169]:

169 - (8 × 20)

=

169 - 160 = 9

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [9] and put it above the original denominator [20], and then put the whole number [8] before it

169
