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 you divide a whole number by a fraction less than 1, the quotient will be greater than the whole number. This is because dividing by a fraction less than 1 is equivalent to multiplying by a whole number greater than 1. For example, if you divide 10 by 1/2, it is the same as multiplying 10 by 2, which equals 20.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
greater
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
No. A mixed number is greater than 1 since it has a non-zero whole number (which is at least 1) and a fraction (which is greater than 0); any number divided by a number greater than 1 will be less than the original number. So 15 divided by a mixed number will be less than, not greater than, 15.
I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.
The quotient is less than the fraction.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
greater
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.
