Steps to convert 53/24 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 53/24 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 [24]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [53]:

53 - (2 × 24)

=

53 - 48 = 5
