1) Divide by the first number. Take the new quotient and divide by the second number. Continue until all divisions have been completed.
2) Find the product of all the divisors then perform a single division using this product as the divisor.
EXAMPLE :
Method 1) 450 ÷ 3 ÷ 3 ÷ 5 : 450 ÷ 3 = 150 : 150 ÷ 3 = 50 : 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Method 2) 450 ÷ 3 ÷ 3 ÷ 5 : 3 x 3 x 5 = 45 : 450 ÷ 45 = 10

Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true: * The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one. * On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one. For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6. On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.
You add up all the numbers and divide by how many total numbers you have.
The answer is larger than the original number.
7 (x+1)/72 = (x-1)/54 x+1 = (72x-72)54 54x+54 = 72x-72 54x-72x = -72-54 -18x = -126 x = 7
There is no such number. You can always count one more. And then one more than that. And one more than THAT. And so on.
