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.
Well, honey, a division problem where the quotient is larger than the dividend is technically not possible in the realm of real numbers. You see, division is all about breaking things down into smaller parts, so it's like trying to fit a big ol' watermelon into a tiny little cup - just ain't gonna happen. Stick to addition if you want to see numbers grow, sweetie.
Because you can take a piece of an apple out of a bag of apples more times than the number of whole apples in the bag.
The answer is 0 times with a remainder of 17. When dividing 17 by 19, the divisor is larger than the dividend, so the division cannot be completed evenly. The quotient would be 0, and the remainder would be the original dividend, which is 17 in this case.
It's easier to visualize with smaller numbers. 18 divided by 3 = 6 18 divided by 6 = 3 If the dividend is the same, the smaller the divisor, the larger the quotient.
it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25
Because it's a fraction

When you divide by a fraction, you are multiplying by it's reciprocal or opposite. So if you are dividing by 1/2, it is the same thing as multiplying by 2/1.
Quotient 0, remainder 805. Note that you will always get this pattern when you divide a smaller number by a larger one - i.e., the quotient will be zero, and the remainder will be the dividend.
Only if you are dividing by a decimal or a fraction.
The answer is 0 times with a remainder of 17. When dividing 17 by 19, the divisor is larger than the dividend, so the division cannot be completed evenly. The quotient would be 0, and the remainder would be the original dividend, which is 17 in this case.
The remainder can be greater than the divisor when the dividend is significantly larger than the divisor. In division, the remainder is the amount that is left over after dividing the dividend by the divisor. If the dividend is much larger than the divisor, it is likely that the remainder will also be larger than the divisor.
There are usually more zeros in dividends because it is more preferible that the larger number is in the dividends section
