First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/1, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 6:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 1
Whole number and divisor: 6
So what is 5/1 Divided by 6? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
