    How to write 20/12 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 20/12 as a mixed number is
    1 2/3

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [20] is greater than the denominator [12]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    20
    12
    =1
    2
    3

    Steps to convert 20/12 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 20/12 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 [12] goes into the numerator [20]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    20 ÷ 12 ≈ 1.67

    20 = 1 × 12 + 8

    (Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 8)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [8].

    You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [20]:

    20 - (1 × 12)

    =

    20 - 12 = 8

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [8] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [1] before it

    20
    12
    =1
    8
    12

    Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [8/12] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [4]:

    1
    8
    12
    =1
    2
    3

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 20/12 to the mixed number 1 2/3.
