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

Why is the answer less when dividing fractions?
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.
How do you find the average of more than one number?
You add up all the numbers and divide by how many total numbers you have.
What happens to a number when you divide it by a fraction or decimal less than one?
The answer is larger than the original number.
You think of a number When you divide 72 by one more than your number you get the same answer as when you divide 54 by one less than my number. What is my 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
What is the last number in counting?
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.
