Steps to convert 75/6 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 75/6 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 [6] goes into the numerator [75]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

75 ÷ 6 = 12.5

75 = 12 × 6 + 3

(Quotient of 12 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [12] and multiplying it by the original denominator [6]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [75]:

75 - (12 × 6)

=

75 - 72 = 3

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [6], and then put the whole number [12] before it

75
6
=12

Simplify the fractional part. The fractional part [3/6] can still be reduced. Divide both its numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor [3]:

12

=12

That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 75/6 to the mixed number 12 1/2.
