Conversion of Improper Fractions into Mixed Fractions

In conversion of improper fractions into mixed fractions, we follow the following steps:

Step I: Obtain the improper fraction.

Step II: Divide the numerator by the denominator and obtain the quotient and remainder.

Step III: Write the mixed fraction as: QuotientRemainderDenominator.

To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number, divide the numerator of the given improper fraction by its denominator. The quotient will represent the whole number and the remainder so obtained will be the numerator of the fractional part. The denominator of the fractional part will be the same as that of the improper fraction i.e.,

Let us convert 75 into a mixed number.

As you know if a fraction has same number as numerator and denominator, it makes a whole. Here in 75 we can take out 55 to make a whole and the remaining fraction we have is 25. So, 75 can be written in mixed numbers as 125.

Conversion of Improper Fractions into Mixed Fractions

                          55 = 1                        +                           25

                                           75 = 55 + 25 = 1 + 25 = 125


Actually, 75 means 7 ÷ 5. When we divide 7 by 5 we get 1 as quotient and 2 as remainder. To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number we place the quotient 1 as the whole number, the remainder 2 as the numerator and the divisor 5 as the denominator of the proper fraction.
