What is 2/17 Divided by 36?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/17, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 36:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 17
Whole number and divisor: 36
So, what is 2/17 Divided by 36? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/17 Divided by 36, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
17
÷
36
\frac{2}{17} ÷ 36
17 2 ÷ 36
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 17, by the whole number 36:
17 x 36 = 612
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:
612/2 = 306/1
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 17/36 =
306
