Improper Fraction to Mixed Numbers Formula

The formula for converting an improper fraction to a mixed number is:

Mixed Number = (Quotient) Remainder / Divisor

Where:

• Quotient = Numerator ÷ Denominator (rounded down to the nearest whole number)
• Remainder = Numerator – (Quotient × Denominator)
• Divisor = Original denominator

Examples:

Convert 11/4 to a mixed number:

Quotient: 11 ÷ 4 = 2 (rounded down)

Remainder: 11 – (2 × 4) = 3

Result: 2 3/4

Convert 17/5 to a mixed number:

Quotient: 17 ÷ 5 = 3 (rounded down)

Remainder: 17 – (3 × 5) = 2

Result: 3 2/5

How do I convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

1. Divide the numerator by the denominator: Perform long division or use a calculator to divide the top number by the bottom number.
2. Identify the quotient: The whole number result of the division becomes the whole number part of your mixed number.
3. Calculate the remainder: Multiply the quotient by the denominator and subtract this from the numerator.
4. Form the mixed number: Write the quotient as the whole number, followed by the remainder over the original denominator.

To convert the improper fraction 25/5 to a mixed number, we can use the formula:

Mixed Number = (Quotient) Remainder / Divisor

Where:

• Quotient = Numerator ÷ Denominator (rounded down to the nearest whole number)
• Remainder = Numerator – (Quotient × Denominator)
• Divisor = Original denominator

Apply the formula:

1. Divide: 25 ÷ 5 = 5 (rounded down)
2. Remainder: 25 – (5 × 5) = 25 – 25 = 0
3. Mixed number: 5 0/5 = 5

The improper fraction 25/5 is equal to the mixed number 5.

What is the improper fraction for 1 1/2?

The improper fraction for 1 1/2 is 3/2.

To find the improper fraction for a mixed number like 1 1/2, we need to reverse the process.

1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator: 1 × 2 = 2
2. Add this result to the numerator: 2 + 1 = 3
3. Place this sum over the original denominator: 3/2

To verify this:

• 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1
• 1 1/2
