Steps to convert 26/7 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 26/7 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

26 ÷ 7 = 3.71 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 5)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [5].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [7]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [26]:

26 - (3 × 7)

=

26 - 21 = 5

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [5] and put it above the original denominator [7], and then put the whole number [3] before it
