Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 16/14, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 16:
Numerator of the dividend: 16
Denominator of the dividend: 14
Whole number and divisor: 16
So, what is 16/14 Divided by 16? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 16/14 Divided by 16, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
16
14
÷
16
\frac{16}{14} ÷ 16
14 16 ÷ 16
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 14, by the whole number 16:
14 x 16 = 224
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:
224/16 = 14/1
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,
16 divided by 14/16 =
