47/6 to a mixed number
How to write 47/6 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [47] is greater than the denominator [6]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 47/6 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 47/6 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 [6] goes into the numerator [47]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
47 ÷ 6 = 7.83 = 7
(Quotient of 7 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 [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [6]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [47]:
47 - (7 × 6)
=47 - 42 = 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 [6], and then put the whole number [7] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 47/6 to the mixed number 7 5/6.
