Steps to convert 49/13 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 49/13 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 [13] goes into the numerator [49]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

49 ÷ 13 = 3.77 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 10)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [10].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [13]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [49]:

49 - (3 × 13)

=

49 - 39 = 10

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [10] and put it above the original denominator [13], and then put the whole number [3] before it

49
