6
2
=3
0
1

Steps to convert 6/2 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 6/2 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 [6]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

6 ÷ 2 = 3 = 3

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [2]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [6]:

6 - (3 × 2)

=

6 - 6 = 0

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [0] and put it above the original denominator [2], and then put the whole number [3] before it

6
2
=3
0
1

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 6/2 to the mixed number 3.
