What is 1/5 Divided by 79?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/5, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 79:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 5
Whole number and divisor: 79
So, what is 1/5 Divided by 79? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/5 Divided by 79, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
5
÷
79
\frac{1}{5} ÷ 79
5 1 ÷ 79
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 5, by the whole number 79:
5 x 79 = 395
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:
395/1 = 395/1
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,
1 divided by 5/79 =
395
