79/42 to a mixed number
How to write 79/42 as a Mixed Number?
Answer
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [79] is greater than the denominator [42]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 79/42 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 79/42 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 [42] goes into the numerator [79]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
79 ÷ 42 = 1.88 = 1
(Quotient of 1 and a remainder of 37)
2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [37].
You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [1] and multiplying it by the original denominator [42]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [79]:
79 - (1 × 42)
=79 - 42 = 37
3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [37] and put it above the original denominator [42], and then put the whole number [1] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 79/42 to the mixed number 1 37/42.
