Steps to convert 55/14 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 55/14 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 [14] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

55 ÷ 14 = 3.93 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 13)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [13].

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 [14]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [55]:

55 - (3 × 14)

=

55 - 42 = 13

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [13] and put it above the original denominator [14], and then put the whole number [3] before it
