Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 12/6, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 86:
Numerator of the dividend: 12
Denominator of the dividend: 6
Whole number and divisor: 86
So, what is 12/6 Divided by 86? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 12/6 Divided by 86, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
12
6
÷
86
\frac{12}{6} ÷ 86
6 12 ÷ 86
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 6, by the whole number 86:
6 x 86 = 516
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:
516/12 = 43/1
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,
12 divided by 6/86 =
43
