17/1 to a mixed number
How to write 17/1 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [17] is greater than the denominator [1]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 17/1 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 17/1 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 [1] goes into the numerator [17]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
17 ÷ 1 = 17 = 17
(Quotient of 17 and a remainder of 0)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [17] and multiplying it by the original denominator [1]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [17]:
17 - (17 × 1)
=17 - 17 = 0
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [1], and then put the whole number [17] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 17/1 to the mixed number 17.
