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
