It is often useful to convert division into multiplication, by inverting the fraction; dividing by 2/3 is the same as multiplying by 3/2.

Is 3 a divisor of 81?
Try doing the division, in this case, 81 / 3. If you get a whole number, it is; otherwise it isn't.
When you divide by a decimal why do you multiply the dividend and the divisor by a power of 10?
Multiplying both the dividend and divisor by a power of 10 is done to convert the decimal divisor into a whole number. This allows us to perform the division operation using whole numbers, making it easier to calculate. It maintains the overall value of the division while simplifying the computation.
How do you divide 0.5 by1.41?
Make the divisor (1.41) a whole number and then divide normally. To make the divisor a whole number, the easiest way is to keep multiplying it by 10 until it becomes a whole number; but remember, division is just like a fraction - whatever you do to the denominator (bottom) you must also do to the numerator (top) - so whatever you do to the divisor (the number by which you are dividing) you must do to the dividend (the number into which you are dividing): 0.5 ÷ 1.41 = 50 ÷ 141 (multiply both by 100) = 50/141 ≈ 0.3546
Is any divisor of a whole number is greater than any multiple of a whole number?
9, a divisor of 18, is greater than 4, a multiple of 2.
A whole number that divides exactly into another number?
A divisor.
What is a whole number divisor?
It is a fraction in which the divisor is a whole number. The dividend (or numerator) can be any number.
In division why should the remainder not be greater then the divisor?
If the remainder is greater than the divisor then you can divide it once more and get one more whole number and then have less remainders.
Is 3 a divisor of 81?
Try doing the division, in this case, 81 / 3. If you get a whole number, it is; otherwise it isn't.
How is dividing a decimal by a whole number different than dividing 2 decimals?
Unlike dividing by a whole number, dividing buy a decimal number cannot be done directly - the divisor must first be converted to a whole number (and then the division can be done). The easiest way to do this conversion is to keep multiplying the divisor by 10 until a whole number is obtained; however, whatever is done to the divisor must also be done to the dividend, so by whatever the divisor is multiplied, the dividend must also be multiplied.

Which division problem would have an estimated quotient of 15 if the divisor and dividend were rounded to the nearest whole number?
The answer is 90.24 divided by 6.3.
Is a divisor of a number is the product of that number and any whole number?
No.
What is the answer to division problems?
A division is a dividend divided by the divisor to give the quotient; this is written as:quotient = dividend ÷ divisorA division can also be expressed as the divisor divided into a dividend to give the quotient; this is written as:................. quotient.............. ------------divisor | dividendThe quotient can be just the whole part of the result of the division, in which case there may also be a remainder.
If you get a whole number while doing square roots what would the answer be rational or irrational?
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the division of two integers, while the divisor is not zero. An irrational number is any number that is not rational.Whole numbers are rational, because the divisor is 1. It has nothing to do with square roots.
If a division problem has divisor of 9 what is the greatest possible remainder?
8 is the greatest possible whole number remainder, eg seventeen divided by nine...
What is the least whole number with only one odd number as its divisor?
1, with 1 as the odd divisor.
