    How to write 21/17 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 21/17 as a mixed number is
    1 4/17

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [21] is greater than the denominator [17]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    21
    17
    =1
    4
    17

    Steps to convert 21/17 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 21/17 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 [17] goes into the numerator [21]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    21 ÷ 17 = 1.24 = 1

    (Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 4)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].

    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 [17]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [21]:

    21 - (1 × 17)

    =

    21 - 17 = 4

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [17], and then put the whole number [1] before it

    21
    17
    =1
    4
    17

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 21/17 to the mixed number 1 4/17.
