Steps to convert 65/16 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 65/16 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 [16] goes into the numerator [65]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

65 ÷ 16 ≈ 4.06 = 4

(Quotient of 4 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 [4] and multiplying it by the original denominator [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [65]:

65 - (4 × 16)

=

65 - 64 = 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 [16], and then put the whole number [4] before it

65
