What is 1/8 Divided by 31?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/8, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 31:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 8
Whole number and divisor: 31
So, what is 1/8 Divided by 31? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/8 Divided by 31, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
8
÷
31
\frac{1}{8} ÷ 31
8 1 ÷ 31
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 8, by the whole number 31:
8 x 31 = 248
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:
248/1 = 248/1
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 8/31 =
248
