Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/19, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 8:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 19
Whole number and divisor: 8
So, what is 2/19 Divided by 8? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/19 Divided by 8, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
19
÷
8
\frac{2}{19} ÷ 8
19 2 ÷ 8
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 19, by the whole number 8:
19 x 8 = 152
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:
152/2 = 76/1
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,
2 divided by 19/8 =
76
