Steps to convert 55/19 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 55/19 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 [19] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

55 ÷ 19 ≈ 2.89 = 2

(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 17)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [17].

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

55 - (2 × 19)

=

55 - 38 = 17

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [17] and put it above the original denominator [19], and then put the whole number [2] before it
