Steps to convert 71/12 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 71/12 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

71 ÷ 12 = 5.92 = 5

(Quotient of 5 and a remainder of 11)

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 [71]:

71 - (5 × 12)

=

71 - 60 = 11

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [11] and put it above the original denominator [12], and then put the whole number [5] before it
