What is 1/2 Divided by 53?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/2, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 53:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 2
Whole number and divisor: 53
So, what is 1/2 Divided by 53? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/2 Divided by 53, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
2
÷
53
\frac{1}{2} ÷ 53
2 1 ÷ 53
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 2, by the whole number 53:
2 x 53 = 106
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:
106/1 = 106/1
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 2/53 =
106
