First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 1/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 42:
Numerator of the dividend: 1
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 42
So, what is 1/16 Divided by 42? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
