Steps to convert 59/10 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 59/10 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [10]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [59]:

59 - (5 × 10)

=

59 - 50 = 9
