21/16 to a mixed number
How to write 21/16 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [21] is greater than the denominator [16]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 21/16 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 21/16 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 [16] goes into the numerator [21]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
21 ÷ 16 = 1.31 = 1
(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 5)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [5].
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 [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [21]:
21 - (1 × 16)
=21 - 16 = 5
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [5] and put it above the original denominator [16], and then put the whole number [1] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 21/16 to the mixed number 1 5/16.
