Steps to convert 73/16 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 73/16 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 [4] and multiplying it by the original denominator [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [73]:

73 - (4 × 16)

=

73 - 64 = 9
