36/4 to a mixed number
How to write 36/4 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [36] is greater than the denominator [4]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 36/4 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 36/4 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 [36]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
36 ÷ 4 = 9 = 9
(Quotient of 9 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 [9] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [36]:
36 - (9 × 4)
=36 - 36 = 0
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [4], and then put the whole number [9] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 36/4 to the mixed number 9.
