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 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
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.
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.
