8 does not divide 42 evenly so 42/8 is not a whole number.
Find the largest whole number that will divide into the numerator and the denominator evenly, divide them each.
The smallest positive whole number that will evenly divide into 9 and 19 is 1. This is true for any number. All numbers must divide by 1!
This is called a prime factorization. 1. Start with the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number and divide. 2. Take the answer and divide by the smallest prime that evenly divides into the number .... repeat, until no longer divisible by any prime but itself. ex: 12 ..... 12 divide by 2 = 6 6 divide by 2 = 3 (3 is a prime) ans... 2x2x3

It isn't 1 is. 1 is always the smallest. Can you divide 1 and get a whole number? No a prime number is something that you can divide into, yes you can divide it, making it a negative number, but not a whole number. * * * * * In fact, 1 is NOT a prime (nor a composite), so 2 IS the smallest prime.

That's known as the least common multiple, or LCM. It's the smallest number that all the members of a given set of whole numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder.
Probably the most common use is in adding fractions with different denominators. The least common multiple of the denominators is the least common denominator. Each fraction can be converted to one with the common denominator, and then you can add the fractions by adding their numerators.

No, 5596 is not evenly divisible by 7. When you divide 5596 by 7 you get about 799.42857..., not a whole number.
