First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 15/3, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 23:
Numerator of the dividend: 15
Denominator of the dividend: 3
Whole number and divisor: 23
So what is 15/3 Divided by 23? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
