Steps to convert 61/12 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 61/12 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 [12] goes into the numerator [61]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

61 ÷ 12 = 5.08 = 5

(Quotient of 5 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 [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [12]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [61]:

61 - (5 × 12)

=

61 - 60 = 1

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [5] before it

61
12
=5
1
