In basic division you put the larger number first for example, it would be 8÷4. You have 8 cookies and you want to divide them among you 4 friends. Therefore the answer is 2 cookies per friend. For younger kids it wouldn't make sense to solve a question like you have 4 cookies and you want to divide them among 8 friends because odds are likely they will get confused. It is however 100% possible to divide like that it just takes you into fractions. Unless, that is what the question is asking. But if you are knew to dividing I am sure the question you are being asked will make you put the larger number first so you can divide it into smaller parts.

What is the smallest possible number from 2 4 7 and 3?
The smallest number would result from division. Divide using the smallest numbers first to achieve the smallest result: 2 / 3 / 4 / 7 is about equal to 0.024. Note that 7 / 4 / 3 / 2 yields something close to 0.292, which is not the smallest possible.
What is the smallest 2-digit number that can be divided by 3?
-1
Write two numbers between the smallest and largest number?
Let the smaller number be S and the larger number L. The difference if L - S. Divide this difference into (say) three, then The first of the two intermediate numbers is S + (L-S)/3 The second of the two intermediate numbers is S + 2(L-S)/3
How do you i get the median?
You put all the numbers in order(smallest to largest) then cross off the first the last then the second then the second to last and so on the middle number is the median.
Place the smallest number of significant digits at the top and the largest number at the bottom of the column?
Placing the smallest digit at the top and listing so the digits continue down to the largest number is to sort in ascending order, from, for example, 1 to 10.To place the numbers with the largest at the top and the smallest at the bottom is to sort in descending order, say from 10 to 1.These terms also apply to other sorted data, so a column of words, for example, might be sorted alphabetically in either ascending or descending order, with the first letters listed from A to Z, or from Z to A.
When writing ratios do the largest or smallest number go first?
i dont know thats what im trying to find out
What is the algorithm for finding largest and smallest of given number?
To find the largest number: Assume (temporarily) that the first number is the largest number. You might call this the "largest number found so far". Then, for each number after the first one, compare the number with the largest number found so far. If the new number in the list is larger, call that one the "largest number found so far". Repeat for each number. After processing all the numbers, the "largest number found so far" will simply be the largest number.For example, if your list is (5, 2, 8, -1), you start assuming that 5 (the first number in the list) is the largest number. You compare with 2 - "5" is still the largest number, since 2 is smaller. When you compare with 8, you find that 8 is larger, so you replace your "largest number" with 8. "-1" is smaller, so nothing changes. Since we processed the entire list, the largest number is now 8.You can do the same - mutatis mutandis - to find the smallest number.
What is the order of the taxa from largest (first) to smallest (fifth).?
The order of taxa from largest to smallest is: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family.

If Santa Claus plans to visit the smallest US state first and the largest last in what order will he visit in 50 states?
probably smallest to largest
Write an algorithm to read two numbers then display the largest?
Read 2 numbers. If first is larger than second, display second, else display first. That's for the smallest. For the largest reverse the two. For each of the other two, it's easier to just create a variable, call it largest. Initialize it to a very small number, say -1. As you read each number, compare it to largest. If the number is larger than largest, set largest equal to the number. When you finish each list of numbers, then print largest. Best answer Read 2 numbers.

Write two numbers between the smallest and largest number?
Let the smaller number be S and the larger number L. The difference if L - S. Divide this difference into (say) three, then The first of the two intermediate numbers is S + (L-S)/3 The second of the two intermediate numbers is S + 2(L-S)/3

When you divide fractions does the big number go first?
The number on the bottom of the fraction bar is first, then divide that by the top number :)
