=7
2
3

Steps to convert 23/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 23/3 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 [23]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

23 ÷ 3 = 7.67 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 2)

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

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 [23]:

23 - (7 × 3)

=

23 - 21 = 2

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [7] before it

23
3
=7
2
3

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 23/3 to the mixed number 7 2/3.
