Steps to convert 78/10 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 78/10 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

78 ÷ 10 = 7.8 = 7

(Quotient of 7 and a remainder of 8)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [8].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [7] and multiplying it by the original denominator [10]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [78]:

78 - (7 × 10)

=

78 - 70 = 8

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [8] and put it above the original denominator [10], and then put the whole number [7] before it
