Steps to convert 87/32 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 87/32 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 [2] and multiplying it by the original denominator [32]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [87]:

87 - (2 × 32)

=

87 - 64 = 23

3. Get our mixed fraction. To complete our mixed fraction we need to take the new numerator from previous step [23] and put it above the original denominator [32], and then put the whole number [2] before it
