What is 1/5 Divided by 63?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 63:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 63
So, what is 1/5 Divided by 63? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/5 Divided by 63, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
5
÷
63
\frac{1}{5} ÷ 63
5 1 ÷ 63
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 63:
5 x 63 = 315
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:
315/1 = 315/1
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 5/63 =
315
