Steps to convert 31/12 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 31/12 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

31 ÷ 12 = 2.58 = 2

(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 7)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [31]:

31 - (2 × 12)

=

31 - 24 = 7

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [2] before it
