First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 8/1, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 4:
Numerator of the dividend: 8
Denominator of the dividend: 1
Whole number and divisor: 4
So what is 8/1 Divided by 4? Let’s work through the problem, and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
