Steps to convert 22/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 22/3 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 [3] goes into the numerator [22]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

22 ÷ 3 = 7.33 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [22]:

22 - (7 × 3)

=

22 - 21 = 1

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [7] before it

22
3
=7
1

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 22/3 to the mixed number 7 1/3.
