4/2 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 4/2 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 [2] goes into the numerator [4]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

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 [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [2]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [4]:

3. Get our mixed number. The remainder is 0, so there is no fractional part: the improper fraction 4/2 is simply the whole number [2]

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