Enter fraction(s) below:

Simplify and Evaluate the following fraction:

First, evaluate the numerator and denominator

The numerator is 1200

The denominator is 5

Reduce our fraction

GCF(1200 and 5) = 5

Reduce the numerator by GCF

(1/5) x 1200 = 240

Reduce the denominator by GCF

(1/5) x 5 = 1

Build our reduced answer

Simplify the improper fraction:

Determine the integer of Numerator ÷ Denominator

Integer = 240 ÷ 1 = 240

Remainder = 240 - 240(1)

Remainder = 240 - 240

Remainder = 0

Build mixed fraction:

Integer & Remainder ÷ Original Denominator

240 & 0/1

Since our denominator is = 1, we simplify and just show the numerator as our answer → 240

Convert this fraction number to a mixed number.

Let's find the whole number first.
The formula for this is:

Numerator/Denominator) in whole numbers

Using the fraction you entered of 1200/5, let's evaluate:

Whole Number = 1200 / 5 = 240

Whole Number = Integer(240)

Whole Number = 240

Find the fractional portion of the mixed number

Using the values we entered and calculated, we get:

Combine both pieces for the mixed number:

Mixed Number = Whole Number & fraction Portion

Mixed Number = 240 & 0/5

Mixed Number can also be written as 240 and 0/5

Write this as a whole number

Whole Number = 240
