25/13 to a mixed number
How to write 25/13 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [25] is greater than the denominator [13]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 25/13 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 25/13 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 [13] goes into the numerator [25]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
25 ÷ 13 = 1.92 = 1
(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 12)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [12].
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 [13]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [25]:
25 - (1 × 13)
=25 - 13 = 12
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [12] and put it above the original denominator [13], and then put the whole number [1] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 25/13 to the mixed number 1 12/13.
