65/3 to a mixed number
How to write 65/3 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [65] is greater than the denominator [3]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 65/3 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 65/3 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 [3] goes into the numerator [65]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
65 ÷ 3 = 21.67 = 21
(Quotient of 21 and a remainder of 2)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [2].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [21] and multiplying it by the original denominator [3]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [65]:
65 - (21 × 3)
=65 - 63 = 2
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [3], and then put the whole number [21] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 65/3 to the mixed number 21 2/3.
