13/12 as a Mixed Number

A mixed fraction is a type of fraction that combines a whole number with a proper fraction part. Proper fractions, as the name suggests, are the opposite of improper fractions; in proper fractions, the denominator is larger in value, whereas the numerator is smaller. 

To understand mixed fractions better, let’s take an example: 6 ⅖ 
Here, 6 is the whole number, and the fraction ⅖ is the proper fraction as the number is smaller than the denominator.

13/12 in itself is an improper fraction, but when we convert it to a mixed number, it turns into 1 1/12.

The following method is followed to convert 13/12 into a mixed number:
 
We begin by dividing the numerator 13 by the denominator 12, which gives us 1 as the quotient and similarly 1 as the remainder.

Mixed numbers are written in such a way that the quotient is written separately and the remainder, which in this case will be 1/12, is written next to it. Even though it is written separately, it still signifies one single term.

The mixed number after conversion of 13/12 comes out to be 1 1/12
