This concept is further divided into:
Division of Fraction by Whole Number
Division of Whole Number by Fraction
Division of Fraction by Whole Number
Steps of division are:
Step 1: Find reciprocal of given whole number
Step 2: Multiply given fraction with reciprocal of given whole number (calculated in step 1)
Step 3: Multiplication of numerators, divided by, multiplication of denominators
| Example 1 : Divide | 15
4 | by 10 |
|---|
Answer = Write fraction and whole number in division expression and we get:
Find the Reciprocal of whole number i.e. 10
Multiply fraction with the reciprocal of whole number (calculated above) and we get;
Multiplication of numerators, divided by, multiplication of denominators and we get;
| Example 2 : Divide | 53
10 | by 5 |
|---|
Answer = Write fraction and whole number in division expression and we get:
Find the Reciprocal of whole number i.e. 5
Multiply fraction with the reciprocal of whole number (calculated above) and we get;
Multiplication of numerators, divided by, multiplication of denominators and we get;
Division of Whole Number by Fraction
Steps of division are:
Step 1: Find reciprocal of given fraction
Step 2: Multiply given whole number with reciprocal of given fraction (calculated in step 1)
Step 3: Multiply whole number with the numerator and keep the denominator same
| Example 3 : Solve 2 ÷ | 3
5 |
|---|
Answer = Find the Reciprocal of fraction and we get
| Reciprocal of fraction | 3
5 | = | 5
3 |
Multiply whole number (i.e. 2) with the reciprocal of fraction (calculated above) and we get
Multiply whole number with the numerator and keep the denominator same & we get;
| Example 4 : Solve 10 ÷ | 77
86 |
|---|
Answer = Find the Reciprocal of fraction and we get
| Reciprocal of | 77
86 | = | 86
77 |
Multiply whole number with the reciprocal of fraction (calculated above) and we get
Multiply whole number with the numerator and keep the denominator same & we get;
