How to convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction ?

Answer 1

Converting an Improper fraction into a mixed fraction.

1. Divide the numerator by denominator
2. Then write the number as $\mathrm{Quotient}\frac{\mathrm{Remainder}}{\mathrm{Divisor}}$. This is how a mixed fraction is written.
3. To obtain the fraction back from the mixed fraction, do $\frac{\mathrm{Dividend}}{\mathrm{Divisor}}$where $\mathrm{Dividend}=\left(\mathrm{Quotient}\times \mathrm{Divisor}\right)+\mathrm{Remainder}$.

Example: Convert $\frac{22}{7}$ into mixed fraction.

Divisor$=7$

Quotient$=3$

Remainder$=1$

Thus, mixed fraction$=3\frac{1}{7}$

Hence, these are the steps to convert an Improper fraction to a mixed fraction.
