Steps to convert 38/15 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 38/15 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

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 [15]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [38]:

38 - (2 × 15)

=

38 - 30 = 8
