First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 17/18, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 68:
Numerator of the dividend: 17
Denominator of the dividend: 18
Whole number and divisor: 68
So, what is 17/18 Divided by 68? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 17/18 Divided by 68, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
17
18
÷
68
\frac{17}{18} ÷ 68
18 17 ÷ 68
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 18, by the whole number 68:
18 x 68 = 1224
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:
