You entered a fraction. We need to 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 26/52, let's evaluate:
Whole Number = 26 / 52 = 0.5
Whole Number = Integer(0.5)
Whole Number = 0

Now we find the fractional portion of the mixed number. The formula for that is:

(Numerator - Denominator x Whole Number)
Denominator

Using the values we entered and calculated, we get:

Fraction Portion =	(26 - 52 x 0)
	52

Fraction Portion =	26 - 0
	52

Fraction Portion =	26
	52

Now combine both pieces and piece together the mixed number:
Mixed Number = Whole Number & fraction Portion
Mixed Number = 0 & 26/52

What is the Answer?

1/2
