Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/8, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 99:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 8
Whole number and divisor: 99
So, what is 2/8 Divided by 99? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/8 Divided by 99, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
8
÷
99
\frac{2}{8} ÷ 99
8 2 ÷ 99
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 8, by the whole number 99:
8 x 99 = 792
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:
792/2 = 396/1
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 8/99 =
396
