Sometimes fractions exceed the value of "1", making them improper. Such fractions, such as 22/11 (or 2 in its decimal form), can be rewritten as what we call "mixed numbers", providing a clearer understanding and representation of the value.
Step-by-step conversion of 22/11 to a mixed number
- Simplify the fraction (22/11) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD (11): 22/11 = 2 and 11/11 = 1. This gives 2.
- Use the Euclidean division method to divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (1): 2 ÷ 1 = 2 remainder 0
- The integer of the mixed number is equal to the quotient (2) of the long division.
- The numerator of the fractional part is equal to the remainder (0) of the long division.
- The denominator of the fractional part remains the original denominator (1).
- Combine these element to form the fractional part:
