How do you divide a smaller number by a bigger number by hand. For example 15 divided by 22?

You add a decimal point and zeros after the decimal to 15. So it would look like this:
22 into 15.0 then you would do the long division like you were dividing 22 into 150. Carry the decimal up above onto the answer bar and your answer will fall behind the decimal place (because 22 goes into 15 less than 1 time!) Continue adding zeros until you get a round answer, or start a repeating pattern. Its difficult to show with text, but heres my best at it: (by filling in space with ",,,")
,,,,,,,,,.6818

22|15.0000
,,,,,132
,,,,,,____
,,,,,,,180
,,,,,,176
,,,,,,,___
,,,,,,,,,,,40
,,,,,,,,,,,22
,,,,,,,,,,,__
,,,,,,,,,,,180

As you can see we have hit a pattern, so the answer is .6818181... (the calculator will verify this)

How do you divide a big number into a smaller number?
Add enough zeros so the smaller number becomes bigger than the bigger one. It's difficult to divide 50 into 4, but it's easier to divide 50 into 4.00
Is one sixth greater than one eighth?
yes bc if you divide a circle in eight it would have smaller spaces, if you divided it into 6 you would have larger spaces, which is bigger, but besides what 1/6 is still bigger because its closer to 1
Is any number divided by zero equal to zero?
No. Any number TIMES zero is zero. Any number DIVIDED by zero is infinity You can show this easily. Take any number - say 100. Divide it by 10 and the answer is 10. Now make the number that you divide into the 100 smaller - say, 5. The answer is now larger - 20 Carry on making the number that you divide into 100 smaller and smaller like this: 100 divided by 1 is 100 100 divided by 0.1 is 1000 100 divided by 0.01 is 10,000 100 divided by 0.001 is 100,000 So as the number you divide into 100 gets smaller the answer gets larger and larger. So when the number you divide becomes zero, then the answer must become infinity.

When you divide a number by another number is the answer always smaller than the number you divided into?
Not necessarily. When you divide by a fraction, the answer can be bigger than both of them. 6 ÷ 1/5 = 30
Why do numbers get bigger when you divide a decimal?
This has absolutely nothing to do with decimals. For example, any positive number become smaller if divided by any number that is greater than 1: whether in rational form or decimal form.
Do you divide or multiply when changing meters to centermeter?
Centimeters are smaller ,right? If you multiply , it will get bigger, if u divide it gets smaller, divide.
Do you divide when you are converting measurements that are bigger to smaller?
You multiply
Do you divide when you are converting bigger to smaller measurements?
No, you multiply.
How do you divide a bigger number into a a smaller number to find the percentage?
Not necessarily, you need to look at the context of the percentage you are finding. For example, in machines, when finding percent efficiency, the output can be greater or less than the input, the output is divided by the input so sometimes the number may be greater or smaller. However, in the case of merchandise sales, you do not find sales that are greater than 100% off so it would actually be the smaller number divided by the bigger number.

When you are dividing two fractions how come your answer is bigger than 1?
The answer is always bigger than one only if the fraction you are dividing by is smaller than the fraction you are dividing into. Any number divided by a smaller number is bigger than 1. To divide fractions you invert he demominator and multiply: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 1/2 times 4 = 2
What is larger 750 billionths of a meter or 400 billionths of a meter?
When you divide anything into 750 pieces they will always be smaller than the same thing divided into 400 pieces .... so obviously divided by 400 is BIGGER than divided by 750.
How do you divide a big number into a smaller number?
Add enough zeros so the smaller number becomes bigger than the bigger one. It's difficult to divide 50 into 4, but it's easier to divide 50 into 4.00
