57/2 to a mixed number
How to write 57/2 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [57] is greater than the denominator [2]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 57/2 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 57/2 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 [2] goes into the numerator [57]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
57 ÷ 2 = 28.5 = 28
(Quotient of 28 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 [28] and multiplying it by the original denominator [2]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [57]:
57 - (28 × 2)
=57 - 56 = 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 [2], and then put the whole number [28] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 57/2 to the mixed number 28 1/2.
