What algorithm makes sense for dividing any fraction by any whole number?
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
What is the Reciprocal whole number?
There is no name other than a reciprocal whole number.
Why is the quotient larger than the dividend when dividing by a unit fraction?
Rules for dividing by a fraction are multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a unit fraction is a whole number. Multiplying by a whole number will make the answer (quotient) larger. ex unit fraction 1/a 7 divided by 1/a = 7 x a/1 = 7a .... a times larger than 7.
What is the reciprocal of a whole number?
not a whole number maby a NEGITIVE
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1 will the quotient be greater or less than the whole number?
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)
When is the reciprocal of a number greater than the number and when is it less than the number?
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.
Is the reciprocal of a fraction always a whole number explain?
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2
How do you find the reciprocal of a whole number and a fraction?
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
How do you change a whole number into a fraction then make it a reciprocal?
put the #1 under the number to make it a fraction. then just switch them around Let's look at an example to help you understand this idea. 5 = 5/1 The reciprocal is just the fraction flipped over. In this case, 1/5 Thus, a whole number can always be shown as a fraction of itself over 1. The inverted fraction is the reciprocal of the whole number.
How do you divide a unit fraction by a whole number?
Multiply by the reciprocal.
Does every whole number have a reciprocal?
Not just every whole number. Every number has a reciprocal, even 0. The reciprocal of 0 is undefined.
How do you find the reciprocal of a whole number?
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
Can the reciprocal of a fraction ever be a whole number?
Yes. For example, if you have 1/3, the reciprocal would be 3.
What is a type of fraction which is also part of a whole number?
A reciprocal, perhaps.
When the numerator and denominator of a fraction are switched the new fraction is called?
It is called the reciprocal of a fraction when the fraction is turned upside down.To find reciprocal of a mixed number, convert the whole number to the fraction and create an improper fraction: 22/4 becomes 10/4 and the reciprocal is 4/10
What algorithm makes sense for dividing any fraction by any whole number?
multiply by the reciprocal of the whole number
Are reciprocal fractions always a whole number?
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
