Steps to convert 39/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 39/5 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 [5] goes into the numerator [39]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

39 ÷ 5 = 7.8 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 4)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [39]:

39 - (7 × 5)

=

39 - 35 = 4

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [7] before it

39
5
=7
4
5

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 39/5 to the mixed number 7 4/5.
