Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 17/6, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 51:
Numerator of the dividend: 17
Denominator of the dividend: 6
Whole number and divisor: 51
So, what is 17/6 Divided by 51? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 17/6 Divided by 51, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
17
6
÷
51
\frac{17}{6} ÷ 51
6 17 ÷ 51
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 6, by the whole number 51:
6 x 51 = 306
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:
306/17 = 18/1
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 6/51 =
18
