What is 58/7 as a mixed number

A mixed number.

The fraction sign means division, so divide 58 by 7.

You'd get about 8.285714 That is not a whole number. So multiply the eight times the original denominator, 7, to see what is left over in fractional form.

8 x 7 equals 56

58-56=2 Put 2 over the original denominator of 7 and keep the eight.

The mixed number is 8 2/7
