Steps to convert 27/8 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 27/8 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 [8] goes into the numerator [27]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

27 ÷ 8 = 3.38 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

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 [8]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [27]:

27 - (3 × 8)

=

27 - 24 = 3

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [8], and then put the whole number [3] before it

27
8
=3
3
8

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 27/8 to the mixed number 3 3/8.
