The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
greater than
The quotient is less than the fraction.
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
There's no general rule or pattern. (11/5) divided by (33/5) = 1/3 (less than 1) (41/5) divided by (24/5) = 11/2 (greater than 1) Just as always in division . . . -- If you have (smaller number) divided by (bigger number), the quotient is less than 1. -- If you have (bigger number) divided by (smaller number), the quotient is more than 1.
Greater the divisor is less than 1,so the quotient is greater than the dividend
Any example where the divisor is less than 1 .
The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
The quotient will be less than one.
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)
greater than
It will be greater.

greater than
The remainder must always be smaller.
less than
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
