Steps to convert 85/21 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 85/21 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 [21]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [85]:

85 - (4 × 21)

=

85 - 84 = 1

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [1] and put it above the original denominator [21], and then put the whole number [4] before it
