Steps to convert 85/4 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 85/4 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 [4] goes into the numerator [85]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

85 ÷ 4 = 21.25 = 21

(Quotient of 21 and a remainder of 1)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [1].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [21] and multiplying it by the original denominator [4]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [85]:

85 - (21 × 4)

=

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 [4], and then put the whole number [21] before it
