What is 2/7 Divided by 68?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/7, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 68:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 7
Whole number and divisor: 68
So, what is 2/7 Divided by 68? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/7 Divided by 68, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
7
÷
68
\frac{2}{7} ÷ 68
7 2 ÷ 68
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 7, by the whole number 68:
7 x 68 = 476
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:
476/2 = 238/1
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 7/68 =
238
