First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 14/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 84:
Numerator of the dividend: 14
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 84
So, what is 14/12 Divided by 84? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 14/12 Divided by 84, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
14
12
÷
84
\frac{14}{12} ÷ 84
12 14 ÷ 84
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 84:
12 x 84 = 1008
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:
1008/14 = 72/1
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,
14 divided by 12/84 =
