Steps to convert 23/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 23/5 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

(Quotient of 4 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [4] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [23]:

23 - (4 × 5)

=

23 - 20 = 3

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [4] before it
