Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/8, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 43:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 8
Whole number and divisor: 43
So, what is 1/8 Divided by 43? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/8 Divided by 43, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
8
÷
43
\frac{1}{8} ÷ 43
8 1 ÷ 43
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 8, by the whole number 43:
8 x 43 = 344
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:
344/1 = 344/1
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 8/43 =
344
