Rewrite the fraction

As a mixed number (also called a mixed fraction):

Mixed number = a whole number and a proper fraction, of the same sign.

Proper fraction = numerator smaller than denominator.


4,558,467 ÷ 2,464 = 1,850 and remainder = 67 =>

4,558,467 = 1,850 × 2,464 + 67 =>

4,558,467/2,464 =

(1,850 × 2,464 + 67)/2,464 =

(1,850 × 2,464)/2,464 + 67/2,464 =

1,850 + 67/2,464 =

1,850 67/2,464

As a decimal number:

1,850 + 67/2,464 =

1,850 + 67 ÷ 2,464 ≈

How to multiply two fractions?

When we multiply ordinary fractions, the end fraction will have:

  • as a numerator, the result of multiplying all the numerators of the fractions,
  • as a denominator, the result of multiplying all the denominators of the fractions.
  • a/b × c/d = (a × c) / (b × d)
  • a, b, c, d are integer numbers;
  • if the pairs (a × c) and (b × d) are not coprime (they have common prime factors) the end fraction should be reduced (simplified) to lower terms.

How to multiply ordinary fractions? Steps.

  • Start by reducing fractions to lower terms (simplifying).
  • Reduce math fractions to lower terms, online, with explanations.
  • Factor the numerators and the denominators of the reduced fractions: break them down to their prime factors.
  • Calculate the prime factors of numbers, online calculator
  • Above the fraction bar we write the product of all the prime factors of the fractions' numerators, without doing any calculations.
  • Below the fraction bar we write the product of all the prime factors of the fractions' denominators, without doing any calculations.
  • Cross out all the common prime factors that appear both above and below the fraction bar.
  • Multiply the remaining prime factors above the fraction bar - this will be the numerator of the resulted fraction.
  • Multiply the remaining prime factors below the fraction bar - this will be the denominator of the resulted fraction.
  • There is no need to reduce (simplify) the resulting fraction, since we have already crossed out all the common prime factors.
  • If the resulted fraction is an improper one (without considering the sign, the numerator is larger than the denominator), it could be written as a mixed number, consisting of an integer and a proper fraction of the same sign.
  • Write improper fractions as mixed numbers, online.
  • Multiply ordinary fractions, online, with explanations.
