Steps to convert 99/17 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 99/17 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 [17] goes into the numerator [99]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

99 ÷ 17 ≈ 5.82

99 = 5 × 17 + 14

(Quotient of 5 and a remainder of 14)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [14].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [5] and multiplying it by the original denominator [17]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [99]:

99 - (5 × 17)

=

99 - 85 = 14

3. Get our mixed number. To complete our mixed number we need to take the new numerator from previous step [14] and put it above the original denominator [17], and then put the whole number [5] before it

99

=5
14
