2/1 to a mixed number
How to write 2/1 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [2] 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 2/1 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 2/1 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 [2]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
2 ÷ 1 = 2 = 2
(Quotient of 2 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 [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [1]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [2]:
2 - (2 × 1)
=2 - 2 = 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 [2] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 2/1 to the mixed number 2.
