2

Steps to convert 34/4 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 34/4 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 [34]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

34 ÷ 4 = 8.5

34 = 8 × 4 + 2

(Quotient of 8 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 [8] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [34]:

34 - (8 × 4)

=

34 - 32 = 2

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number 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 [8] before it

34
4
=8
2
4

Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [2/4] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [2]:

8
2

=8
1
2

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 34/4 to the mixed number 8 1/2.
