72/31 to a mixed number
How to write 72/31 as a Mixed Number?
Answer
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [72] is greater than the denominator [31]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 72/31 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 72/31 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 [31] goes into the numerator [72]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
72 ÷ 31 = 2.32 = 2
(Quotient of 2 and a remainder of 10)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [10].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [31]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [72]:
72 - (2 × 31)
=72 - 62 = 10
3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [10] and put it above the original denominator [31], and then put the whole number [2] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 72/31 to the mixed number 2 10/31.
