To convert the whole number 236 into a mixed number, we start by recognizing that mixed numbers consist of a whole number and a proper fraction.
Since 236 is already a whole number, we can express it as a mixed number by writing it as:
236 = 236 1/1
In this case, we treat 236 as the whole number part, and since there are no additional fractional parts, we simply add 1/1 to indicate that it is a complete whole.
Thus, the mixed number equivalent of 236 remains 236, but for clarity, it can also be represented as 236 1/1.
