When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1 will the quotient be greater or less than the whole number?

Generally, the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction will be greater than that whole number, because division is simply multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.
For instance: 2 / (1/2) = 2 * (2/1)

When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than one will the quotient be greater than or less than the whole number?
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
When you divide a fraction by a whole number is the quotient greater than or less than 1?
greater
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1 is the quotient greater than the whole number?
The quotient is always greater than the whole number. Why? Because it takes more to add up a smaller number than a bigger number. I hope this makes sense.. I'm really stupid XD
When you divide a fraction less than one by a whole number greater than one is the quotation less than greater than or equal to the dividend?
I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.
When you divide a fraction less than 1 by a whole number greater than 1 how does the quotient compare to the dividend?
The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.
