Steps to convert 57/20 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 57/20 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 [20] goes into the numerator [57]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

57 ÷ 20 = 2.85 = 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 [20]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [57]:

57 - (2 × 20)

=

57 - 40 = 17

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [17] and put it above the original denominator [20], and then put the whole number [2] before it
