Steps to convert 63/8 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 63/8 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 [8] goes into the numerator [63]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

63 ÷ 8 = 7.88 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 7)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [8]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [63]:

63 - (7 × 8)

=

63 - 56 = 7

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [8], and then put the whole number [7] before it

63

=7
7
8

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 63/8 to the mixed number 7 7/8.
