First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 19/17, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 38:
Numerator of the dividend: 19
Denominator of the dividend: 17
Whole number and divisor: 38
So, what is 19/17 Divided by 38? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 19/17 Divided by 38, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
19
17
÷
38
\frac{19}{17} ÷ 38
17 19 ÷ 38
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 17, by the whole number 38:
17 x 38 = 646
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:
