    How to write 47/8 as a Mixed Number?

    Answer

    The fraction 47/8 as a mixed number is
    5 7/8

    Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [47] is greater than the denominator [8]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):

    47
    8
    =5
    7
    8

    Steps to convert 47/8 to a mixed number

    In order to convert our improper fraction 47/8 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 [47]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

    47 ÷ 8 = 5.88 = 5

    (Quotient of 5 and a remainder of 7)

    2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

    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 [47]:

    47 - (5 × 8)

    =

    47 - 40 = 7

    3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [8], and then put the whole number [5] before it

    47
    8
    =5
    7
    8

    That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 47/8 to the mixed number 5 7/8.
