Steps to convert 49/15 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 49/15 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

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 [15]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [49]:

49 - (3 × 15)

=

49 - 45 = 4
