Steps to convert 53/18 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 53/18 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 [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [18]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [53]:

53 - (2 × 18)

=

53 - 36 = 17
