Steps to convert 40/21 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 40/21 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 [21] goes into the numerator [40]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

40 ÷ 21 = 1.9 = 1

(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 19)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [19].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [21]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [40]:

40 - (1 × 21)

=

40 - 21 = 19

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [19] and put it above the original denominator [21], and then put the whole number [1] before it

40

=1
