    How to write 39/12 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 39/12 as a mixed number is
    3 1/4

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [39] is greater than the denominator [12]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    39
    12
    =3
    1
    4

    Steps to convert 39/12 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 39/12 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 [12] goes into the numerator [39]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    39 ÷ 12 = 3.25 = 3

    (Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 3)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

    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 [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [39]:

    39 - (3 × 12)

    =

    39 - 36 = 3

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

    39
    12
    =3
    3
    12

    Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [3/12] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [3]:

    3
    3
    12
    =3
    1
    4

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 39/12 to the mixed number 3 1/4.
