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 does a number get larger when you divide it by a number that is less than one?

When you divide a number by a number that is less than one, you are essentially multiplying that number by the reciprocal of the divisor. Since multiplying by a fraction less than one results in a smaller number, dividing by a fraction less than one will result in a larger number. This is because you are essentially distributing the original number into smaller parts, making each part larger in the process.


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.

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.


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
