What is the Quotient of 1/8?
Here we will explain and show you how to calculate the quotient of 1/8. First, note that 1/8 is a fraction with a numerator and denominator as illustrated below:
| 1 = Numerator | |||
| 8 = Denominator |
The horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator is called the division bar, and "division" is key to understanding how to calculate the quotient of 1/8. It is key, because a division problem looks like this:
Dividend ÷ Divisor= Quotient
Since ÷ is the same as the division bar, the Numerator is the same as the Dividend and the Denominator is the same as the Divisor. Our fraction illustration above can therefore be re-labeled like this:
| 1 = Dividend | |||
| 8 = Divisor |
Which means this is also true:
Numerator ÷ Denominator = Quotient
Therefore, to get the quotient of 1/8, we do this:
1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
We hope you found our explanation and calculation helpful and note that the answer above is rounded if necessary.
