Steps to convert 40/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 40/3 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 [3] goes into the numerator [40]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

40 ÷ 3 = 13.33 = 13

(Quotient of 13 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [13] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [40]:

40 - (13 × 3)

=

40 - 39 = 1

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [13] before it
