Enter fraction(s) below:

Simplify and Evaluate the following fraction:

First, evaluate the numerator and denominator

The numerator is 60

The denominator is 4

Reduce our fraction

GCF(60 and 4) = 4

Reduce the numerator by GCF

(1/4) x 60 = 15

Reduce the denominator by GCF

(1/4) x 4 = 1

Build our reduced answer

Simplify the improper fraction:

Determine the integer of Numerator ÷ Denominator

Integer = 15 ÷ 1 = 15

Remainder = 15 - 15(1)

Remainder = 15 - 15

Remainder = 0

Build mixed fraction:

Integer & Remainder ÷ Original Denominator

15 & 0/1

Since our denominator is = 1, we simplify and just show the numerator as our answer → 15

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 60/4, let's evaluate:

Whole Number = 60 / 4 = 15

Whole Number = Integer(15)

Whole Number = 15

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 = 15 & 0/4

Mixed Number can also be written as 15 and 0/4

Write this as a whole number

Whole Number = 15
