Steps to convert 55/24 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 55/24 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 [24] goes into the numerator [55]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

55 ÷ 24 = 2.29 = 2

(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 7)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

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 [55]:

55 - (2 × 24)

=

55 - 48 = 7

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [24], and then put the whole number [2] before it
