Steps to convert 47/3 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 47/3 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 [47]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

47 ÷ 3 = 15.67 = 15

(Quotient of 15 and a remainder of 2)

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

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [15] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [47]:

47 - (15 × 3)

=

47 - 45 = 2

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [15] before it
