Steps to convert 18/8 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 18/8 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 [8] goes into the numerator [18]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

18 ÷ 8 = 2.25

18 = 2 × 8 + 2

(Quotient of 2 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 [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [8]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [18]:

18 - (2 × 8)

=

18 - 16 = 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 [8], and then put the whole number [2] before it

18
8
=2
2
8

Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [2/8] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [2]:

2
2
8
=2

4

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 18/8 to the mixed number 2 1/4.
