Steps to convert 78/17 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 78/17 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 [17]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [78]:

78 - (4 × 17)

=

78 - 68 = 10

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [10] and put it above the original denominator [17], and then put the whole number [4] before it
