Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/17, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 82:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 17
Whole number and divisor: 82
So, what is 2/17 Divided by 82? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/17 Divided by 82, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
17
÷
82
\frac{2}{17} ÷ 82
17 2 ÷ 82
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 17, by the whole number 82:
17 x 82 = 1394
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:
1394/2 = 697/1
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 17/82 =
697
