    How to write 246/12 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 246/12 as a mixed number is
    20 1/2

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [246] is greater than the denominator [12]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    246
    12
    =20
    1
    2

    Steps to convert 246/12 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 246/12 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 [12] goes into the numerator [246]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    246 ÷ 12 = 20.5 = 20

    (Quotient of 20 and a remainder of 6)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [6].

    You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [20] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [246]:

    246 - (20 × 12)

    =

    246 - 240 = 6

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [6] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [20] before it

    246
    12
    =20
    6
    12

    Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [6/12] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [6]:

    20
    6
    12
    =20
    1
    2

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 246/12 to the mixed number 20 1/2.
