What is 1/14 Divided by 17?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/14, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 17:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 14
Whole number and divisor: 17
So, what is 1/14 Divided by 17? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/14 Divided by 17, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
14
÷
17
\frac{1}{14} ÷ 17
14 1 ÷ 17
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 14, by the whole number 17:
14 x 17 = 238
Step 2:
The result of this multiplication will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
238/1 = 238/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
1 divided by 14/17 =
238
