Steps to convert 81/16 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 81/16 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 [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [16]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [81]:

81 - (5 × 16)

=

81 - 80 = 1
