Steps to convert 68/21 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 68/21 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

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 [21]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [68]:

68 - (3 × 21)

=

68 - 63 = 5

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [5] and put it above the original denominator [21], and then put the whole number [3] before it
