∙ 12y agoWhen you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that 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)
The quotient is always greater than the whole number. Why? Because it takes more to add up a smaller number than a bigger number. I hope this makes sense.. I'm really stupid XD
I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.
The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.
The quotient is less than the fraction.

It will be greater.
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
By an integer, no. By any proper fraction, yes.
no
divide
If you divide the fraction by a number greater than 1 then you will have a smaller fraction.If you divide the fraction by a number equal to 1 then you will have the same fraction.If you divide the fraction by a positive number smaller than 1 then you will have a greater fraction.

Invert the fraction and multiply.
No, it is not possible to divide 15 by a mixed number and get a quotient that is greater than 15.
