First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 5/16, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 1:
Numerator of the dividend: 5
Denominator of the dividend: 16
Whole number and divisor: 1
So what is 5/16 Divided by 1? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
