Steps to convert 79/23 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 79/23 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

(Quotient of 3 and a remainder of 10)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [10].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [3] and multiplying it by the original denominator [23]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [79]:

79 - (3 × 23)

=

79 - 69 = 10
