Steps to convert 26/4 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 26/4 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 [26]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

26 ÷ 4 = 6.5 = 6

(Quotient of 6 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 [6] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [26]:

26 - (6 × 4)

=

26 - 24 = 2

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [4], and then put the whole number [6] before it
