87/5 to a mixed number
How to write 87/5 as a Mixed Number?
Since we have an improper fraction (the numerator [87] is greater than the denominator [5]), we can convert it into a mixed number (a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction):
Steps to convert 87/5 to a mixed number
In order to convert our improper fraction 87/5 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:
1. Find the whole number. First we need to calculate how many times the denominator [5] goes into the numerator [87]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:
87 ÷ 5 = 17.4 = 17
(Quotient of 17 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 [17] and multiplying it by the original denominator [5]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [87]:
87 - (17 × 5)
=87 - 85 = 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 [5], and then put the whole number [17] before it
That's it! We have successfully converted the improper fraction 87/5 to the mixed number 17 2/5.
