Steps to convert 25/4 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 25/4 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 [4] goes into the numerator [25]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

25 ÷ 4 = 6.25 = 6

(Quotient of 6 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 [6] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [25]:

25 - (6 × 4)

=

25 - 24 = 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 [4], and then put the whole number [6] before it

25
4
=6
1
4

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 25/4 to the mixed number 6 1/4.
