What is 2/11 Divided by 86?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/11, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 86:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 11
Whole number and divisor: 86
So, what is 2/11 Divided by 86? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/11 Divided by 86, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
11
÷
86
\frac{2}{11} ÷ 86
11 2 ÷ 86
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 11, by the whole number 86:
11 x 86 = 946
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:
946/2 = 473/1
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 11/86 =
473
