How to write 42/37 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [42] is greater than the denominator [37]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 42/37 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 42/37 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 [37] goes into the numerator [42]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
42 ÷ 37 = 1.14 = 1
(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 5)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [5].
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 [37]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [42]:
42 - (1 × 37)
=42 - 37 = 5
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [5] and put it above the original denominator [37], and then put the whole number [1] before it
