Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 16/2, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 64:
Numerator of the dividend: 16
Denominator of the dividend: 2
Whole number and divisor: 64
So, what is 16/2 Divided by 64? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 16/2 Divided by 64, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
16
2
÷
64
\frac{16}{2} ÷ 64
2 16 ÷ 64
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 2, by the whole number 64:
2 x 64 = 128
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:
128/16 = 8/1
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,
16 divided by 2/64 =
8
