How to write 40/8 as a Mixed Number?

Steps to convert 40/8 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 40/8 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 [8] goes into the numerator [40]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

40 ÷ 8 = 5 = 5

(Quotient of 5 and a remainder of 0)

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 [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [8]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [40]:

40 - (5 × 8)

=

40 - 40 = 0

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [8], and then put the whole number [5] before it

5
1
=5
0
1

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 40/8 to the mixed number 5.
