Steps to convert 86/15 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 86/15 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 [15]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [86]:

86 - (5 × 15)

=

86 - 75 = 11
