Steps to convert 87/10 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 87/10 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

87 ÷ 10 = 8.7 = 8

(Quotient of 8 and a remainder of 7)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [7].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [8] and multiplying it by the original denominator [10]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [87]:

87 - (8 × 10)

=

87 - 80 = 7

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [7] and put it above the original denominator [10], and then put the whole number [8] before it
