How do you change 26 over 5 into a mixed number?

26/5 means '26' divided by '5'.

So 26 divided by 5'5 = 5 with a remainder of '1'.

So '5' is the coefficient nd the remainder of '1' is placed over thre denominating '5' to make a fraction of '1/5'.

Hence 26/5 = 5 1/5

NB Remember the inverse arithmetic function is 5 x 5 = 25 25 + 1 = 26

NNB For any (improper) fraction ' a/b ' means 'a' divided by 'b'.

So numerically ' 1/2' means '1' divided by '2'. et seq.,

Divide the numerator by the denominator and so 26/5 = 5 and 1/5 as a mixed number
