Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 7/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 84:
Numerator of the dividend: 7
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 84
So, what is 7/3 Divided by 84? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 7/3 Divided by 84, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
7
3
÷
84
\frac{7}{3} ÷ 84
3 7 ÷ 84
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 3, by the whole number 84:
3 x 84 = 252
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:
252/7 = 36/1
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,
7 divided by 3/84 =
36
