Steps to convert 56/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 56/5 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

56 ÷ 5 = 11.2 = 11

(Quotient of 11 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [11] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [56]:

56 - (11 × 5)

=

56 - 55 = 1

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [11] before it
