Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/6, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 78:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 6
Whole number and divisor: 78
So, what is 2/6 Divided by 78? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/6 Divided by 78, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
6
÷
78
\frac{2}{6} ÷ 78
6 2 ÷ 78
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 6, by the whole number 78:
6 x 78 = 468
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:
468/2 = 234/1
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 6/78 =
234
