What is 1/4 Divided by 4?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/4, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 4:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 4
Whole number and divisor: 4
So, what is 1/4 Divided by 4? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 1/4 Divided by 4, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
1
4
÷
4
\frac{1}{4} ÷ 4
4 1 ÷ 4
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 4, by the whole number 4:
4 x 4 = 16
Step 2:
The result of this multiplication will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
16/1 = 16/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
1 divided by 4/4 =
16
