Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 6/4, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 39:
Numerator of the dividend: 6
Denominator of the dividend: 4
Whole number and divisor: 39
So, what is 6/4 Divided by 39? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 6/4 Divided by 39, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
6
4
÷
39
\frac{6}{4} ÷ 39
4 6 ÷ 39
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 4, by the whole number 39:
4 x 39 = 156
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:
156/6 = 26/1
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,
6 divided by 4/39 =
26
