Question

first, find an equivalent expression with whole number divisor:
$117\div26$
what is the quotient?
$117\div26=\square$

Explanation:

Step1: Rewrite as fraction

$117\div26 = \frac{117}{26}$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

Both 117 and 26 are divisible by 13: $\frac{117\div13}{26\div13} = \frac{9}{2}$

Step3: Convert to decimal/quotient

$\frac{9}{2} = 4.5$

Answer:

$4.5$
