Steps to convert 86/21 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 86/21 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

86 ÷ 21 = 4.1 = 4

(Quotient of 4 and a remainder of 2)

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

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 [86]:

86 - (4 × 21)

=

86 - 84 = 2

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [2] and put it above the original denominator [21], and then put the whole number [4] before it
