What is 2/14 Divided by 23?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/14, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 23:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 14
Whole number and divisor: 23
So, what is 2/14 Divided by 23? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/14 Divided by 23, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
14
÷
23
\frac{2}{14} ÷ 23
14 2 ÷ 23
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 14, by the whole number 23:
14 x 23 = 322
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:
322/2 = 161/1
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,
2 divided by 14/23 =
161
