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.
Yes. Becuase it has more than 1 number other than one that it can be divide by. (1,2,3,4,6,8,12.)
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.

When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
In order to have an average, you need to have more than one figure to add together and then divide.
A rational number in decimal form where the denominator has one or more prime factors other than 2 and 5.
You add up all the numbers and divide by how many total numbers you have.
When you start out with a pile of things, you can take away a piece that's smaller than a whole one more times than the number of whole ones in the pile.
The answer is larger than the original number.
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.
