Steps to convert 72/7 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 72/7 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

72 ÷ 7 = 10.29 = 10

(Quotient of 10 and a remainder of 2)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [2].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [10] and multiplying it by the original denominator [7]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [72]:

72 - (10 × 7)

=

72 - 70 = 2

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [7], and then put the whole number [10] before it
