Steps to convert 50/21 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 50/21 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 [21] goes into the numerator [50]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

50 ÷ 21 = 2.38 = 2

(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 8)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [8].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [21]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [50]:

50 - (2 × 21)

=

50 - 42 = 8

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [8] and put it above the original denominator [21], and then put the whole number [2] before it
