42/17 to a mixed number
How to write 42/17 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [42] is greater than the denominator [17]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 42/17 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 42/17 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 [17] goes into the numerator [42]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
42 ÷ 17 = 2.47 = 2
(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 8)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [8].
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 [17]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [42]:
42 - (2 × 17)
=42 - 34 = 8
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [8] and put it above the original denominator [17], and then put the whole number [2] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 42/17 to the mixed number 2 8/17.
