An example of a whole number would be this >>> 2 1/3 Except a real number would be any rational Or irrational number :)
It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2
It may be a whole number, or it may be another fraction. Examples: 1/2 divided by 1/4 = 2 (whole number) 1/2 divided by 1/3 = 3/2 (a fraction).
Whole numbers and integers are slightly different. Whole number: 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Integer: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
A fraction can have non-zero whole number value when the improper fraction is such that the numerator is an exact (whole number) multiple (which is not zero) of the denominator will the fraction have a whole number value. for example 10/5 = (5×2)/(5×1) = 2/1 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2.
