First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 17/4, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 34:
Numerator of the dividend: 17
Denominator of the dividend: 4
Whole number and divisor: 34
So, what is 17/4 Divided by 34? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 17/4 Divided by 34, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
17
4
÷
34
\frac{17}{4} ÷ 34
4 17 ÷ 34
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 4, by the whole number 34:
4 x 34 = 136
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:
136/17 = 8/1
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,
17 divided by 4/34 =
