How to write 3/1 as a Mixed Number?

Answer

The fraction 3/1 as a mixed number is 3

Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [3] is greater than the denominator [1]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

3
1
= 3
0
1

Steps to convert 3/1 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 3/1 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 [1] goes into the numerator [3]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

3 ÷ 1 = 3 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].

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 [1]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [3]:

3 - (3 × 1)

=

3 - 3 = 0

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [1], and then put the whole number [3] before it

3
1
= 3
0
1

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 3/1 to the mixed number 3.
