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:

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
