Steps to convert 59/12 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 59/12 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 [4] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [59]:

59 - (4 × 12)

=

59 - 48 = 11
