Steps to convert 72/19 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 72/19 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 [19]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [72]:

72 - (3 × 19)

=

72 - 57 = 15

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [15] and put it above the original denominator [19], and then put the whole number [3] before it
