Steps to Convert Improper Fraction into a Mixed Fraction
To convert an improper fraction (simplest form) to amixed fraction (mixed number), divide the numerator by the denominator. This will tell you the number of wholes. If there is a remainder, it is the fraction part of a mixed fraction (mixed number). Here's the step-by-step process:
Let's convert the improper fraction @$\begin{align*}\frac {19}{7}\end{align*}@$into a mixed fraction:
Step 1: Divide 19 by 7.
19 ÷ 7 = 2 with a remainder of 5.
Step 2: Write down the whole number quotient (2).
Step 3: Write the remainder as the new numerator (5).
Step 4: Keep the original denominator (7).
So, the mixed fraction equivalent to@$\begin{align*}\frac {19}{7}\end{align*}@$is written as @$\begin{align*}Quotient \frac{Remainder}{Divisor},\end{align*}@$ i.e., @$\begin{align*}2 \frac {5}{7}.\end{align*}@$
