72/17 to a mixed number
How to write 72/17 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [72] is greater than the denominator [17]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 72/17 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 72/17 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 [17] goes into the numerator [72]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
72 ÷ 17 = 4.24 = 4
(Quotient of 4 and a remainder of 4)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [4].
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 [17]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [72]:
72 - (4 × 17)
=72 - 68 = 4
3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [4] and put it above the original denominator [17], and then put the whole number [4] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 72/17 to the mixed number 4 4/17.
