Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 86:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 86
So, what is 1/16 Divided by 86? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/16 Divided by 86, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
16
÷
86
\frac{1}{16} ÷ 86
16 1 ÷ 86
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 16, by the whole number 86:
16 x 86 = 1376
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:
1376/1 = 1376/1
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,
1 divided by 16/86 =
1376
