Steps to convert 83/5 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 83/5 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 [5] goes into the numerator [83]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

83 ÷ 5 = 16.6 = 16

(Quotient of 16 and a remainder of 3)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [3].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [16] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [83]:

83 - (16 × 5)

=

83 - 80 = 3

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [3] and put it above the original denominator [5], and then put the whole number [16] before it
